Lee Carsley will take charge of the England senior side for the final time on Sunday, as the Three Lions welcome Ireland.
It hasn’t been a campaign without its setbacks for England, as memories of a shock defeat against Greece remain fresh in the memory.
But, a victory would see Carsley return to the U21s in fine confidence before handing over to incoming boss Thomas Tuchel.
It will also be a vital clash for Ireland, as Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side will likely need a positive result on Sunday to ensure that they aren’t relegated in the Nations League.
Odds
England will be the clear favorites in this home match against Ireland. A famous win for the Irish at Wembley will be hard to support at a bigger price.
