England are back in action tonight, this time they take on Ivory Coast for the first time ever in a friendly match at Wembley stadium.

England came from behind on Saturday against Switzerland to run out 2-1 winners and they'll be looking to replicate their winning ways in a fixture that has never been seen before at a competitive level.

Ivory Coast lost 2-1 to France on the same weekend, goals from Olivier Giroud and Aurelien Tchouameni cancelled out a Nicolas Pepe opener to give the French side the victory.

With a brand new fixture, comes brand new possibilities. England will be clear favourites going into this but Ivory Coast are an energetic, exciting side bustling with talent - so this should be an exciting watch.

Team News

John Stones of England looks on during the England Training Session at St George's Park

Injury news for England is that John Stones is ruled out, other than this Southgate has a full-strength squad to work with, but has suggested they'll be many changes from the 2-1 victory against the Swiss.

Kyle Walker-Peters looks like he'll make his first-ever start for the Three Lions at right-back. He got his debut on Saturday by coming on for the last 30 minutes.

As for Ivory Coast, they'll be without Atalantas Jeremie Boga, he is struggling with a knee injury. Other than that - it looks like we may see a similar side to the one that played France on Friday.

England Predicted XI: Pope; Walker-Peters, Coady, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham, Mount; Sterling, Kane, Grealish

Ivory Coast Predicted XI: Sangare; Aurier, Boly, Bailly, Konan; Akouokou, Seri, Kessie; Pepe, Haller, Cornet

Head To Head

These teams have never faced up before - meaning there are no games to record.

Odds

The bookie’s odds are as follows:

England  – 1/2

Draw – 3/1

Ivory Coast  – 9/2

Prediction: England 3 - 1 Ivory Coast

Harry Kane of England celebrates after scoring against Switzerland

History will be made today as these two face off - but we think England will emerge victorious.

England's squad is leaps ahead of the Ivorians, the plethora of talent Southgate possesses should be enough to overcome the African side.

Ivory Coast does boast some great attacking players, so we think they'll score - but ultimately it won't be enough. 3-1.
