This may only be a friendly, and not part of the other World Cup qualifiers taking place this international break, but then again the term 'friendly' can never really apply to this match.

Passions run high in the rivalry between these two UK nations, even if England are historically and currently the far greater footballing force. In fact, so strong are Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions that Wales boss Craig Bellamy quipped that this match-up wouldn't be allowed were it a boxing contest.

Beyond the bragging rights, both squads will be looking to build momentum ahead of the more important qualifiers, and, particularly in the case of Tuchel, start to assemble a coherent and consistent side.

It should be a cracking occasion at Wembley so read on for all the live streams and broadcast options to watch England v Wales online, on TV, and from anywhere.
