The World Cup semi-finalists are set to battle for a place at the Nations League finals.

England host Croatia in a winner-takes-all Nations League match on Sunday afternoon.

Victory at Wembley guarantees progression to the finals for either nation while England will be relegated if they lose or record a score draw.
