England vs Switzerland LIVE: What time does it start, which TV channel is it on, where can I watch it?

England will be looking to bounce back following a reality check that saw them succumb to a 2-1 home defeat to Spain in their opening game of the inaugural Nations League campaign.

Despite receiving a jubilant homecoming from a packed out Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, Gareth Southgate’s men were left to rue a string of missed chances after they were taught a footballing lesson of game management by a confident and clinical Spanish side.

Admitting after the game that “there was still another level to go” to challenge the top teams in the game, Southgate now has the opportunity to get back to winning ways after a string of three defeats on the bounce.

Calling up Leicester duo Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray into the squad following injuries to Luke Shaw and Dele Alli, Southgate is expected to make changes to the team that lost on Saturday with a few possible debuts on the cards.

England’s opponents for the night are an in-form Switzerland, who fared a lot better in their opening Nations League game after thrashing Iceland 6-0 on Saturday evening. They will be looking to inflict further misery on Southgate’s men when they meet on Tuesday night.

What time does it start?

England vs Switzerland will kick off at 8:00pm (BST)

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event with coverage starting from 7:00pm.

It’s a big game for…

Harry Maguire: Fresh off signing a new extended contract to 2023 with Leicester City, Maguire will be looking to make an impression in front of a home crowd for whom he has now committed his long-term future.

Maguire was subject of interest from Manchester United during the summer and, following the big defenders’ impressive performances during England’s fantastic World Cup campaign, he seemed set for a move to Old Trafford.

However, the Sheffield born centre-back chose to repay the belief shown in him by the club that gave him the opportunity to play at the highest level and, assuming he features, will look to improve on his defensive performance from the defeat on Saturday in front of the Leicester faithful.

Best stat…

From 1948 onwards, England have lost only once to Switzerland in 21 meetings, thus suggesting that a Swiss victory would be a major upset.

Remember when…

In England’s last meeting with the Swiss, Wayne Rooney scored from the penalty spot to become England’s all-time top scorer surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton.

Player to watch…

Xherdan Shaqiri: Despite being limited to sub appearances only this season, Xherdan Shaqiri is still Switzerland’s most dangerous player, having played a vital role in the demolition of the Icelanders on Saturday evening.

Scoring one goal and assisting two on the night, Shaqiri’s potential threat to England should come as no surprise for regular viewers of the Premier League who have seen how devastating the little Swiss can be on his day.

Not only tricky with the ball at his feet, the winger possesses a wand of a left foot that can be extremely successful on set pieces and outside of the box with the spectacular almost a regular feature of the player’s performances.
