Is England vs Greece on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Nations League
England face their biggest test of the Nations League so far when they welcome Greece to Wembley in a top of the table clash in Group B2.
Neither team have lost a game since the resumption of this tournament with both defeating Finland and the Republic of Ireland in September’s international break.
Greece have made the better start, keeping two clean sheets and scoring more goals (five compared to four from the Three Lions) though there is very little to separate the sides.
Both teams could also be missing their main forward with Fotis Ioannidis out of the Greece squad due to injury and Harry Kane still trying to recover from a thigh problem.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s game:

Team news
Harry Kane did not train with the rest of the squad on Tuesday as he recovers from a thigh injury and the England captain is a doubt for this game. He trained indoors on a specialised programme so may be able to feature at some point though a starting place is unlikely.
Ezri Konsa, Morgan Gibbs-White and Kobbie Mainoo all withdrew from the squad on Monday having picked up respective injuries over the weekend. Having returned to the squad for this camp, Kyle Walker, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are all in line to start for the Three Lions.
Greece have been dealt a huge blow to their chances of winning as Fotis Ioannidis sustained an injury during Panathinaikos’ recent Greek Super League clash with Olympiacos and has been left out of the squad. Vangelis Pavlidis should lead the line as a result with the rest of the squad taking up a more familiar shape.
Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos should win his 45th cap in goal.
Predicted line-ups
England XI: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, Colwill; Gomes, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Watkins
Greece XI: Vlachodimos; Rota, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Bouchalakis, Mantalos; Chatzigiovannis, Bakasetas, Pelkas; Pavlidis
Odds
England win 1/5
Draw 7/2
Greece win 9/1

Prediction
With England in great form and fully revitalised under interim manager Lee Carsley they should be looking forward to a more challenging outing this evening. Greece are unbeaten in the Nations League so far but will likely be forced to change their style of play against the Three Lions. It may take a while for the first goal to come but England will look to take advantage when it does.
England 3-0 Greece
