England’s 6-0 win away at San Marino on the weekend ensured their place at Euro 2016, with Roy Hodgson’s side having emerged from all seven of their matches with a win. The only question now is over which of the other Group E sides will be joining them. At present, it’s Switzerland who look the likeliest candidates, and they’ll be hoping that England will be a touch complacent when they meet at Wembley on Tuesday.

The Swiss looked in a spot of bother when they went 2-0 down at home to Slovenia in their last match, though they staged a remarkable comeback in the final 15 minutes, with a brace from Josip Drmić and a goal from Valentin Stocker ensuring they sealed all three points. They’re now five points clear of third place, and could seal their spot at the Euros if results go their way on Tuesday.
When they last met
Switzerland were expected to cause problems for England at St. Jakob-Park in Basel last September, but a thoroughly professional display from the Three Lions saw them run out 2-0 winners courtesy of a second half brace from Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck. It was the performance that set England well on their way to comfortable qualification for Euro 2016.
Key player: Josip Drmić (Switzerland)
Switzerland striker Josip Drmić has scored as many goals for his country as his clubs in 2015, and it’ll be difficult for coach Vladimir Petković to justify benching him once again after his heroics against Slovenia. If he does play, he’s the man that England’s defence will have to work hardest to keep quiet.
