Republic of Ireland v England (Kick-off 5.00pm). All the action from both teams' opening match in Group B2, held at Aviva Stadium. The Republic finished third in their group in 2022/23, below Scotland and Ukraine but ahead of Armenia, and they now welcome a new manager to the helm in the form of Heimir Hallgrimsson. England were relegated from League A in the previous campaign after finishing bottom of a group containing Italy, Hungary and Germany, but have since reached the final of Euro 2024, having to settle for second place once again after losing out to Spain. Since that final two months ago, they have also changed manger, with Gareth Southgate standing down and Lee Carsley taking over on an interim basis.
