England vs Italy Preview: Recent Form, Team News, Prediction & More

England round off their international break by welcoming Italy to Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening in what is the Three Lions' last European test before this summer's FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Gareth Southgate's side secured a deserved 1-0 win over the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Friday night, with Manchester United's Jesse Lingard netting his first goal for his country at senior level.
