World Cup-bound England to host Germany and Brazil

England will prepare for next year's World Cup with a pair of international friendlies against powerhouses Germany and Brazil in November.

Gareth Southgate's men booked their ticket to Russia 2018 thanks to Thursday's late 1-0 victory over Slovenia at Wembley.

Joachim Low's Germany – who qualified for the showpiece event courtesy of a 3-1 win in Northern Ireland – defeated England 1-0 in a friendly in March, though they have not played at Wembley since their 1-0 victory in 2013 – a warm-up match before the 2014 World Cup.

Brazil – held to a goalless draw by Bolivia in CONMEBOL qualifying on Thursday – will return to Wembley for the first time since February 2013, when the South American giants suffered a 2-1 defeat at the national stadium.
