It is the first time that England and Italy will face off at the Wembley Stadium since the Euro 2020 final. Tuesday's Euro 2024 qualifier has the two sides fighting for the top spot in Group C.
With the Three Lions close to sealing their place in the finals, the currently second-placed Italians have already confirmed at least a play-off spot at the European Championship owing to their performance in the Nations League.
Gareth Southgate's men have recently defeated Scotland and Australia 3-1 and 1-0, respectively while the Azzuri got within three points of England thanks to a 4-0 win over Malta last weekend.
