The Three Lions will face Germany for the third time in less than 20 months on November 10 after the reigning World Cup winners secured their place in Russia with a 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland at Windsor Park last night.

Five-time world champions Brazil, the first team to seal their place at next summer’s finals, will then head to Wembley on November 14 in what is another 8pm kick-off. It is understood a trip to Holland has been lined-up in March, with the FA now able to start rubber-stamping tournament preparations that are well under way.
