Thursday 19:45 – England v San Marino
ITV 1/Virgin Media 2

Everyone comes back to the game in 1993 when England conceded inside seven seconds. It always seems to come up anytime these two are mentioned in conversation, apart from the fact that England usually win these games quite comfortably.

Looking ahead to Thursday night’s game, I highly doubt the home side will be conceding on this occasion.

I’ll be looking to the five, six, or possibly seven goals here. There should be lots of changes. Gareth Southgate will be looking past San Marino to tougher tests.

There could be value in the corners markets and also shots on target. I don’t expect Harry Kane to play. Dominic Calvert-Lewin should start in my opinion. I fancy him to grab at least two.

It will be non-stop attacks from the home side all evening. He could even grab three here if he’s on song.
