What time is England v Scotland Euro 2020 match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Your complete guide to England v Scotland including how to watch the match live on TV and online, plus odds, team news and predictions
It's fair to say that when the finalised Euro 2020 fixtures were announced, the game on England and Scotland fans' minds was this one as old enemies renew their rivalries at Wembley this Friday.
England enjoyed a composed 1-0 victory over Croatia in the opening game to boost hopes of going far in this tournament. Kalvin Phillips earned the plaudits and Raheem Sterling seized his opportunity to impress with the crucial goal.
However, Scotland failed to make an impact during their first major tournament finals clash since 1998. They were defeated 2-0 by Czech Republic thanks to a pair of fantastic finishes by Patrick Schick, despite spirited performances from the likes of Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson.
If England win here, they will guarantee their place in the knockout rounds with a match to spare, while the defeat would leave Scotland hanging over the abyss.
However, if ever there was a time for an upset, for a huge performance, for an iconic result that will be repeated throughout the ages, it's now for Scotland. They will enter the game full of vigour and determined to rock their hosts but can they land an effective blow?

England v Scotland news
England: Gareth Southgate could stick with an unchanged XI for this one given the team's excellent performance against Croatia, though he is a manager who likes to tinker with his line-ups.
Harry Maguire is fit again but it remains to be seen whether he will dislodge Tyrone Mings in defence. Jadon Sancho will hope to feature after not making the bench last time out. Back-up goalkeeper Dean Henderson is out of the tournament and has been replaced by Aaron Ramsdale in the squad.
Scotland: Kieran Tierney looks set to miss out once again in a big blow for Scotland's chances. The Arsenal full-back is a key cog in this Scottish team and his absence will be felt once again.
There has been a clamour to start youngster Billy Gilmour from Scotland fans but it remains to be seen whether he is fit to complete a full game and whether Steve Clarke would trust him in a game of this magnitude.

Our prediction: England v Scotland
England face a very different challenge against Scotland than they did against Croatia. While Croatia are technically superior to Scotland, they arrived at Wembley looking tired, looking limp and lacklustre.
Scotland will not make any of those mistakes; they will be more up for this game than any in their history. This is arguably the biggest match in a generation for Scottish football, perhaps only bested by the Serbia clash that brought them to the Euros in the first place.
However, when all is said and done, England boast a far superior line-up on paper, and demonstrated their ability as a cohesive unit against Croatia. If the Three Lions come out quickly to attack, they should break Scotland and strike early. If that happens, it could be a long night for the Tartan Army.
Our prediction: England 2-0 Scotland (5/1 at bet365)
