England host Poland at Wembley in the third 2022 World Cup qualifier for both nations.
So far it’s the Three Lions who have been flawless, winning twice and keeping clean sheets against both San Marino and Albania so far, though neither side have presented too much of a challenge to Gareth Southgate’s team.
Poland dropped points in a draw with Hungary, before beating Andorra with ease - but the loss of star forward and record goalscorer Robert Lewandowski will be a big blow for their hopes here on Wednesday.
Southgate has rotated his squad this week in the hopes of having players fit and fresh for this match, comfortably the biggest challenge England will face in the qualifying group. A win here will put the Three Lions in a very strong position to top the group and reach the finals in Qatar, even though it’s only three matches in.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
