England vs Ivory Coast

Gareth Southgate will once again experiment with his side as England take on the Ivory Coast at Wembley Stadium this evening.

“Without a doubt, he has all the attributes to be a captain. Sky Sports will televise the match. A really mature performance, strong, breaks the game up so well, but now has more confidence to drive with the ball and bring it forward as well. England are therefore likely to have the edge, but with such a mix-up of formations and line-ups, the Ivory Coast have an outside chance of causing an upset. Subscribers to Sky Sports will also be able to live stream the match through the SkyGo app. It will be available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event with coverage of the event starting at 19:00.

A reminder he can operate alongside Sterling, rather than instead of him. England’s biggest threat going forward and caused constant problems. A real driving force from the midfield. Harry Kane will have to wait to break Wayne Rooney’s goal record despite coming on as a second-half substitute. Ivory Coast were quickly made to pay. His first touch was met with more rumblings, an unnecessary display of dissent on what was largely another encouraging group performance.
