Is England v Italy on TV? Channel, start time and how to watch Euro 2024 qualifier online tonight
England could join Scotland in punching their ticket to next year’s Euros should they beat Italy at Wembley on Monday.
Gareth Southgate’s side are three points clear at the top of Group C with just three games remaining and know that a win would secure their place in Germany next year.
They return to face Italy at Wembley for the first time since their heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat in the Euro 2020 final, but they will have exorcised some of their demons from that loss with their impressive 2-1 away win against Italy in Naples earlier in the qualifying campaign.
Italy beat Malta 4-0 on Saturday to move above Ukraine and into second in the group in Luciano Spalleti’s third game in charge of the national side.
