England take on Wales for the first time since 2022 tonight in an international friendly, live on talkSPORT.
The Three Lions are returning to action exactly a month after they ended the last break with a dominant 5-0 win over Serbia.
England won both of their games without conceding in the last international breakGettyThat followed a 2-0 victory against Andorra, with those results taking Thomas Tuchel‘s record as boss to five wins in six.
He will now be aiming to continue the winning feeling in the England camp as they welcome their British neighbours to Wembley.
With just two more international breaks until the 2026 World Cup after this month, pressure is building on Tuchel and his team to prove they can contend at the tournament.
Meanwhile, for Wales and manager Craig Bellamy, they scraped past Kazakhstan and lost to Canada in September’s action.
It leaves them as big underdogs against their superior neighbours, but a win would prove to be a huge statement.

Kane is a out for England with a foot injury suffered at the weekendGettyEngland vs Wales: Where is Bellingham?
England boss Tuchel explained that Bellingham had been left out of his team mostly due to footballing reasons.
However, he also hinted at even his biggest stars having to fight their way into the Three Lions squad.
He told talkSPORT: “It goes quite well because I have a clear message and the player has no choice than to accept the message.
“If he likes the message or not, there’s an extra layer to it because Jude is just finding his rhythm.
“He hasn’t completed one match over 90 minutes. He has only started one match. It comes from surgery and he’s just finding his rhythm. So this is, I think, an extra reason to not pick him.
“But the main reason is that we stick with the squad that was in camp last time.”
Bellingham is not part of the England squad for the October international breakGettyTuchel continued: “They have to make sure that they are in the squad. This is the only chance by performance.
“If they’re not in the squad and the squad performs like they performed in the last match, why would I change the squad?
“Competition is on. That’s the message.
“It is on for Phil Foden and it’s on for Jack Grealish and it’s on for Jude and it’s on for Trevoh Chalobah. It’s on for everyone. And it’s also on for the guys who are in camp.”
England vs Wales: What else has been said?
Wales manager Bellamy has been speaking about the disparity in quality between his team and England.
He said: “England have a ridiculous squad, like France.
“They have a transfer market value of £1.4bn, ours is £170m.
“If you were a boxing promoter, you wouldn’t put us together. It wouldn’t be allowed.”
