England look to rebound from their penalty shoot-out heartache to Italy at Euro 2020 when they resume qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Three Lions have had time to reflect after losing to the Azzurri in the Wembley final, with Gareth Southgate now targeting glory in Qatar next year.
It’s been a simple start to qualification with three wins from three matches.
But Hungary away might be the trickiest game of the group, with Marco Rossi’s side giving France and Germany a scare in draws at Euro 2020 in Budapest, while Portugal required a late intervention from Cristiano Ronaldo to win.
They sit second in Group I, two points behind England and one ahead of Albania and two more clear of Poland, who will both contend for qualification.
Here’s everything you need to know about the match.
When is it?
The match is tonight, Thursday 2 September, kicking off at 7.45pm.

Prediction
Hungary gave an excellent account of themselves in Euro 2020's group of death, narrowly missing out on a place in the knockout stages. Dominik Szoboszlai missed the tournament but will provide a constant threat and like England, Marco Rossi's side are unbeaten in Group I. Still, they face a test to maintain that record. Expect a narrow England win, like those we saw during the summer. Hungary 0-1 England.
