The second full day of European Championship qualifying takes place on Monday, with a handful of big teams in action. The clear headline attraction of the day is the match between Switzerland and England, the only one featuring two teams that qualified for last summer's World Cup.
Euro 2016 qualifying: Schedule and fixtures for Monday

In previous years, that would be a truly marquee match, but the new Euro 2016 format makes it less consequential than past qualifying tournaments. England and Switzerland should both qualify for the finals now that 24 teams make it in, though they’d probably both like to top the group.
Eyes will also be on Spain, where La Roja are expected to take on a bit of a new look after their World Cup embarrassment. Vicente Del Bosque is still in charge, but Xavi and Xabi Alonso have retired from international duty. Expect to see Cesc Fabregas moved into midfield and key role for Atletico Madrid man Koke going forward.
The day kicks off with Russia, who play Monday's only early game. They're heavy favorites at home against Liechtenstein.
