'Grealish eyeing World Cup starting place'published at 16:10 British Summer Time 4 June 2022
Hungary v England (17:00 BST)
John Murray
BBC commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live in Budapest
Image source, ReutersGareth Southgate only has these four matches in June and two in September, and then that is it before the World Cup.
It will be interesting to see what Kalvin Phillips looks like and whether Southgate is going to play Phillips and Declan Rice together over the coming days.
Or whether Jude Bellingham comes into that role and fits in alongside Rice.
Who is going to play well and fit in well?
Jack Grealish is another one who will have his eyes on a starting place at the World Cup. But with four games over 11 days at this time of year, Southgate has no alternative but to rotate his side and use the squad.

'It's too much'published at 16:04 British Summer Time 4 June 2022
Hungary v England (17:00 BST)
Clinton Morrison
Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe schedule is crazy and the World Cup in November is a crazy situation as well.
Kevin de Bruyne has played so much football and I agree, it's too much. A lot of people would say players earn X Y & Z.
I don't care how much players are earning. You need a break both mentally and physically.
Glorified friendlies or important competition?published at 16:01 British Summer Time 4 June 2022
Thumbs up if you are Team Kevin de Bruyne:
"For me, the Nations League is not important. Just glorified friendlies after a long and tough season. I'm not looking forward to it."
Image source, Rex FeaturesThumbs down if you are Team Joao Moutinho:
"The Nations League is an important competition. All the games we play, and I speak for the group, we look at it with the same importance, whether it's a friendly, qualifying or the Nations League."

And what about James Justin?
It's fair to say it's been a whirlwind four years for the Leicester defender who was playing in League Two for Luton in 2018.
He's also making his England debut five months before the World Cup.

He is part of a front three along with Harry Kane and Mason Mount.
Leicester full-back Justin makes his debut at left-back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right.
Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham partners Declan Rice in the middle of midfield, with Kyle Walker starting at centre-back alongside Conor Coady and Harry Maguire.
