England tonight take on Senegal in an international friendly with head coach Thomas Tuchel demanding a much-improved performance.
The Three Lions are in Nottingham for their final game of the summer, days after an unconvincing win over Andorra in Spain. Harry Kane’s second-half goal was enough for all three World Cup qualification points, but Thomas Tuchel was critical of the display afterwards.

Facing a side unbeaten in their last 15 games, the England players will have to raise their performance levels - even if some appear to be running on empty following a long season.
Senegal, ‘the Lions of Teranga’, warmed up for this friendly with a 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ireland on Friday. They were staring defeat in the face until Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr equalised inside the final 10 minutes.
Just a second-ever meeting between the two nations awaits as Tuchel looks to extend his perfect winning record as England boss to four games.

England vs Senegal is scheduled for a 7.45pm BST kick-off tonight, Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

England vs Senegal prediction
For the first time in Tuchel’s short reign as England manager, a tough test awaits. Regardless of the performances against Albania, Latvia and Andorra, the Three Lions delivered victories having been overwhelming favourites for all three fixtures.
This clash is a bit harder to call as Senegal are in good form and have players to cause England problems. Still, a step up in opposition should see an improvement in performance and a slender win.
