England are visitors against Belgium in the Nations League on Sunday evening, with Gareth Southgate’s players aiming to regain top spot in their group.
The Three Lions were 1-0 losers to Denmark in their last fixture in the competition, meaning they dropped to third in League A Group 2 with the same number of points as the Danes but two fewer than leaders Belgium.
England, who overcame Belgium 2-1 in the reverse fixture of Sunday’s meeting, could go top of the mini-table by taking three points against Roberto Martinez’s team in Heverlee.
That will also depend on the result of Denmark’s clash with bottom Iceland, however.
