England entertain their old rivals Wales on Friday at Wembley hoping to build on their positive result vs Serbia. Thomas Tuchel can look at a few new players in this match - but with certain fans still to win over, the German must deliver. Read as Nathan Joyes' provides his thoughts on the match and selects the best football odds.
After a drab performance against Andorra, Tuchel must have been feeling the pressure when heading to Serbia last time out. This time round, his players delivered for him. A convincing 5-0 away win was exactly what the team - and Tuchel - needed.
A large portion of fans aren't happy with the start the German has made, but that was much more like it in Belgrade, and now Tuchel has another opportunity to win over more supporters with a home win against Wales.
No doubt new faces will have the opportunity to impress once more. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Tottenham's Djed Spence have been a breath of fresh air - and perhaps that's exactly what the Three Lions need if they are to head to the US next summer with hope.
Wales head into this friendly on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat against Canada last month. A second half strike from Rangers' Derek Cornelius was the difference - and Wales will need to offer much more in the final third if they are to break a resilient defensive unit.
Although the focus will heavily be on their crucial tie with Belgium in four days time, this is another opportunity for Wales to freshen up their starting XI.
Craig Bellamy can't afford any key injuries - and although this is a traditionally tense fixture with plenty of aggression on show, even Bellamy won't want to let his team make any costly moves that will harm their chances of featuring against Belgium.
England and Wales last locked horns in Qatar at the 2022 World Cup. England ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden. The result knocked Wales out of the tournament.
It's worth mentioning that Wales have never beaten England in a competitive international fixture.
With both nations keeping one eye on their World Cup qualifiers next week, this match will definitely have a friendly feel to it - despite two old rivals coming together. Expert football tipster Nathan Joyes provides his best bet for Friday's fixture.
England will travel to Latvia shortly after this fixture, whereas Wales only have to make the short trip to Cardiff ready for their crunch match against Belgium.
The Three Lions will know exactly what to do in Riga - and another win looks to be a banker bet for Tuchel's men next week. The German may rotate or try new faces for this match - but perhaps not quite as much as Wales.
England are in a strong position within their weak group - and first spot already looks theirs considering they haven't conceded a single goal.
Wales, on the other hand, need a positive result against the Red Devils in what is their toughest fixture left to play. Defeat will see them three points adrift with just two games to go - and that gap might just be too big to reverse.
Will Bellamy want to beat England? Of course. But will he risk his best players? I'm not convinced - and that hands the hosts the advantage in what should be another win to nil for Tuchel.
