Match Preview
Lee Carsley suffered a humbling defeat in midweek, as England were beaten at Wembley by Greece.
The defeat marked the worst defeat the Three Lions have suffered to a team inferior in the rankings since losing to 116th ranked Northern Ireland in September 2005. Worryingly, Greece are the lowest-ranked team to win at Wembley in history.
The performance level was way below the standard required, as England registered just two shots on target and looked void of quality in the final third, despite fielding a team including Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka.

A trip to Finland could spark England back into life this weekend. The Fins have struggled throughout the Nations League to this point, with a third successive defeat coming on Thursday against Ireland.
A defeat on Sunday could signal a relegation in the League C in the Nations League. Finland did get joy against England on the counter-attack at Wembley last month, but they lacked the clinical edge to find the back of the net.
Finland vs. England Picks
England was very poor midweek, and a response will be expected this weekend. We fully expect the Three Lions to get back on track against inferior opposition, but it may only come via a 2-0 success.
Free Pick:
- England
