England’s place at Euro 2024 can be secured tonight when they host Italy at Wembley Stadium.

In reality, the Three Lions’ place in next summer’s tournament in Germany has been all but assured since they secured a comfortable 2-1 away win over the Azzurri in March, ending England’s 62-year wait for a win on Italian soil.

Gareth Southgate’s side haven’t had a completely smooth ride since, as evidenced by the rotating line-up that pushed past Australia on Friday night in a friendly that was slightly overshadowed by boos for Jordan Henderson.

The returning line-up with Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Co. will therefore at least be well rested for the showdown at Wembley Stadium and a draw will be enough to secure a ticket for the European Championships.

Italy scored four goals against Malta last week and are aware that every point they lose will see them go head-to-head against Malta in their bid to qualify.

News about the England vs. Italy team

There are no new injury problems for England as the majority of their regular players were rested on Friday evening. Bukayo Saka, Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell were among those ruled out ahead of the international phase.

However, Southgate has some questions to deal with. Jordan Henderson could remain in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Bellingham, but Kalvin Phillips or Trent Alexander-Arnold could get the nod instead, as the Liverpool man played at both right-back and in central midfield during the friendly in Australia.

Saka’s absence also opens up two spots in attack. Phil Foden is likely to play on the right, while Marcus Rashford and James Maddison are competing for the spot on the left.

Italy sent Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and Aston Villa loanee Nicolo Zaniolo out of their camp last week over a betting scandal, with the trio missing here too.

Luciano Spalletti has deployed a 4-3-3 since replacing Roberto Mancini, with Domenico Berardi his main attacking threat on the right.

England vs Italy prediction

A few days off have benefited players like Kane and Bellingham and after a few questionable performances of late, this is a prime opportunity for England to establish themselves as genuine contenders next summer.

England vs Italy result prediction

Spalletti – Serie A winner with Napoli last summer – only took charge of his national team last month. After a stuttering 1-1 draw against Italy’s bogeymen North Macedonia on his debut, Spalletti secured consecutive wins against Ukraine and Malta.

However, both victories occurred on Italian soil. The Azzurri may have won the European Championship when they last faced England at Wembley, but they have struggled greatly on their travels in recent years; Italy have only won three of their last nine competitive games away from home.

By comparison, England have won six of their seven games since being eliminated by France in the World Cup quarter-finals – a tournament for which Italy failed to qualify. If they lose to England again, as they did in Naples last March, Italy risks missing out on another major tournament.

Prediction: England 2-1 Italy
