The much-anticipated clash between Belgium and England in the Nations League Group A2 will take place on Sunday. The kick-off is at 20:45 CET.

Preview

Belgium will try to get even with England for last month's 2-1 loss at Wembley on the weekend to strengthen their position at the very top of their NL group. Even though Gareth Southgate's men took all three points against Roberto Martinez's side in October, they suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Denmark in the following game to drop to third place after four matches. The Belgians, in turn, bounced back from their defeat in London by beating Iceland 2-1.

Belgium and England warmed up for their face-to-face meeting with respective friendly victories over Switzerland (2-1) and the Republic of Ireland (3-0) on Thursday.

Leandro Trossard, Alexis Saelemaekers and Hendrik van Crombrugge will miss the encounter for Belgium through injuries while Eden Hazard and Thomas Kaminski are out after testing positive for Covid-19.

Gareth Southgate, meanwhile, also has a number of key players unavailable for the clash with Marcus Rashford, Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Ward-Prowse and Joe Gomez missing out due to injuries while Harry Maguire and Reece James are suspended following their red cards in the Denmark loss last month.

Prediction

Even though both sides have some significant absentees ahead of the weekend's clash, Sunday's showdown is likely to be a very entertaining one.
