Match preview
England will have their eyes set on regaining top spot when they travel to Belgium for their penultimate UEFA Nations League Group A2 clash. The Three Lions were on course to seal their fate and qualify for the final rounds in the previous international week but were dealt a blow following the shock 1-0 defeat to Denmark at Wembley. While the dream still remains alive, the complexity makes the upcoming meeting with the Red Devils even more crucial as any result but a win will be the end of the road for Gareth Southgate's men.
Nevertheless, the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-finalists will fancy their chances ahead of Sunday's blockbuster having announced their readiness with a resounding 4-0 win over Ireland in the buildup to the fixture. They approach the game with Belgium with eight wins from their last nine appearances.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, will be out to get revenge for the defeat they suffered when England hosted them in the reverse fixture. Roberto Martinez's men were subjected to a 2-1 defeat at Wembley, although their win over Iceland and the Three Lions' defeat to Denmark were enough to fire them to the top of the group.
Had it not been for last month's defeat to England at Wembley, Belgium would have had stretches as far back as March 2019 intact. Needless to say, the No.1 ranked national team in the world should have enough motivation to dash the hopes of their English counterparts as they will go into the test off the back of 2-1 comeback win over Switzerland.
