England and Malta find themselves at opposite ends in Group C of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. They two nations will clash at the National Stadium in Ta' Qali on Friday.
Gareth Southgate's men are atop the group after winning over Italy (2-1) and Ukraine (2-0) in March. The Three Lions have won 19 out of their last 20 European Championship qualifying games and have scored in every game at this stage since their goalless draw with Montenegro in 2010.
The 172-ranked Malta recently overcame 91-ranked Luxembourg 1-0 in an international friendly, but have a lot of ground to cover in the qualifiers after their defeats against North Macedonia and Italy.
