England vs Germany Preview

England vs Germany

Competition – International Friendly

Stadium – Wembley

Date: 10th November 2017

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

England confirmed their qualification for next year’s world cup without losing a game and they will be looking to strengthen as well as test new players and playing styles when they play two footballing giants Germany and Brazil in this international break.

England will be missing several key players in this game after the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli pulled out of these games joining Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson as injured absentees.

While Gareth Southgate has included the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham for their first internationals, the question will be can they deliver against big opponents like Germany and Brazil?

England have not been scoring many goals under Southgate and it will be interesting to see how many times they can breach the Germans’ defence here.

Germany are on an incredible run of 20 games without a loss which includes them winning the Confederations Cup and they are looking to go on to retain their world cup crown next year.

They won the Confederations Cup with a team of second string players and finished top of their qualifying group without dropping even one point.

Germany have some of the finest footballers in the world.

Despite the likes of Manuel Neuer, Andre Schurrle and Thomas Muller missing this game, they still remain favourites here.
