Our pick for anytime goalscorer is Harry Kane, the forward is in red-hot form this season, scoring a goal in each of his last five games for his club. He has also scored three goals in his last six international games.
Unlike Ireland who has one win in their last six matches, England are in a better position and form to win this fixture considering their record of three wins in their last four games.
Preview
England will try Ireland for size in their first ever League B fixture in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday.
England were relegated to the League B in 2022 after finishing bottom of their group in League A, a group that included Italy, Hungary, and Germany.
The Three Lions topped their Nations League group in 2018, while they finished third in their group in 2020 prior to the 2022 edition.
Interim manager Lee Carsley has a big job in his hands as England aim to get promotion back to League A in the competition. The manager was appointed after former boss Gareth Southgate left his role after the Euros 2024 in Germany.
England secured four victories in their last seven matches, drew two, and lost 1-0 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Finishing third in each of their Nations League groups in the last three editions, Ireland will be looking to rewrite their story in the competition this year.
The Heimir Hallgrímsson’s men won only two of their group games in the 2022 edition, losing three and recording a draw against Ukraine. Ireland also scored seven goals, while conceding six in the tournament.
Heading into this game, the Emerald Isles are not in good form, recording one win in their last five international fixtures. They lost 3-0 to Portugal in their recent fixture, via a Joao Felix’s early opener and a Cristiano Ronaldo’s double.
