England continue their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against North Macedonia on Monday evening.
The Three Lions maintained their perfect start to qualifying group C with a 4-0 victory at Malta on Friday, moving onto nine points from three games.
North Macedonia missed the chance to move three points clear in second after throwing away a two-goal lead at home to Ukraine, succumbing to a late 3-2 loss.

Bukayo Saka had to be hauled off at half-time of Friday’s win at Malta with an ankle injury.
Though Gareth Southgate insisted this was a precautionary measure, it’s unlikely that the Arsenal winger will be risked from the off, particularly given the riches of talent ready to step in.
England are likely to make a few changes to their starting lineup, with some of the Manchester City cohort expected to come in following their treble-winning exploits.
England predicted lineup (4-3-3): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Alexander-Arnold, Henderson; Foden, Kane, Rashford
North Macedonia will be without Visar Musliu after he was sent off in their defeat to Ukraine on Friday.
North Macedonia predicted lineup (3-4-1-2): Dimitrievski; Ristovski, Zajkov, Velkovski; Askovski, Ademi, Bardhi, Alioski; Elmas; Trajkovski, Nestorovski
Surprisingly, England have drawn both of their previous home games against North Macedonia.
But this Three Lions side know not to play with their food and so a routine victory is very much on the cards, particularly since Monday’s visitors showed their extreme weaknesses against Ukraine last time out.
Expect goals at Old Trafford.
