Check out how to watch Italy v England in the Nations League this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
England's penultimate game ahead of the 2022 World Cup sees them travel to Rome to take on Italy, who have become an all too familiar foe in recent years.
It was the Azzurri that ended Gareth Southgate's team's Euro 2020 dreams in last summer's Wembley final while the two sides played out a goalless draw in the first round of Nations League fixtures back in June.
England have been poor in Group A3 so far and sit bottom of the table with just two points from four games – a run that has seen them lose twice to and concede five goals against Hungary.
They face the prospect of relegation to Group A4 if they can't pick up the necessary results against Italy and Germany over the next week but Southgate's real focus will be on making the most of the last two games before the World Cup.
First up is the trip to Italy, who may still be licking their wounds after missing out on a Qatar 2022 place thanks to a defeat to North Macedonia in the play-offs in March.

Our prediction: Italy v England
The summer did not play out as Southgate will have hoped, with the 4-0 defeat against Hungary leaving a sour taste in the mouth of many fans, and he'll know how important a few morale-boosting results over the next week will be.
Italy's fall from grace since their Euro 2020 triumph has been dramatic and should give England an opportunity to pick up the victory that the players and supporters will crave.
Southgate's England have been all about pulling together as a team but individual performances will be judged more than ever with the World Cup now so close, which could aid their success or make things harder for them.
The midfield pairing between Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice could hold the key to success in Qatar for the Three Lions so Friday is a big evening for the duo – assuming they start together.
Our prediction: Italy 0-2 England (11/1 at bet365)
