With Michaelson

New Spanish coach Luis Enrique announced himself against Gareth Southgate’s England side with a 2-1 win at Wembley Stadium in their Uefa Nations League tie. England have now lost three games in a row after their defeats in the 2018 Fifa World Cup semifinal and third-place playoff.

Harry Kane’s side will tonight host Switzerland in a friendly at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium. England have an unblemished record against the Swiss in the last decade-and-a-half. In the sides’ last six meetings, the Three Lions have won five and drawn one, scoring 14 goals in the process, in contrast to Switzerland’s four. This is a record Southgate hopes will continue.

If we take Fifa world rankings into consideration, there is not much to separate the sides as England are ranked sixth – only two spots ahead of their opponents.

Switzerland also had a decent 2018 Fifa World Cup, reaching the last-16, where they were knocked out by Sweden.

Be that as it may, England have a better-looking squad than their opponents, and have not lost two home games on the trot since November 2013 in 2-0 and 1-0 defeats to Chile and Germany. England will be without Dele Alli tonight, but Southgate has enough ammunition in his arsenal to get back on the winning track.
