England vs Germany live stream: how to watch the Nations League for free online and on TV, team news

There's an argument to suggest that England and Germany are international football's two crisis sides at the minute. The Three Lions haven't won any of their past five games, their worst run for eight years, while Germany have won just one of their last six and fell to an unexpected 1-0 home defeat to Hungary on Friday. Both teams will be desperate to sign-off ahead of the World Cup with a morale-boosting victory.

Read on to find out how to watch an England vs Germany live stream and see the 2022 Nations League online today, no matter where you are in the world - including ways to watch the game absolutely FREE.

The teams are in and England make two changes from their defeat to Italy as John Stones and Luke Shaw come in for Kyle Walker and Bukayo Saka. That means the 3-4-3 system remains with Shaw and Reece James as wing-backs and Harry Maguire continuing in the back three. Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Phil Foden complete the forward line but Trent Alexander-Arnold doesn't make the squad, as expected.

For Germany, Hansi Flick makes four changes. West Ham's Thilo Kehrer, Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala – a former England youth international – and Nico Schlotterbeck come in for Antonio Rudiger, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and Timo Werner. Josh Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan continue in midfield. 

England's 1-0 defeat to an injury-ravaged Italy on Friday was as worrying as it was drab. Though Gareth Southgate tried a positive spin on the loss, the Three Lions boss is coming increasing pressure despite leading his side to the Euro 2020 final last summer. Still trying to work out whether a 3-4-3 or a back four is the right system, Southgate must find a way to get the best from his myriad attacking talents in Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount and Bukayo Saka, but will at least be encouraged by Jude Bellingham's front-foot display from central midfield at the San Siro.

Following a run of four straight draws earlier this year, Germany's defeat to Hungary will add to Hansi Flick's worries ahead of Qatar. Though at their best in June's 5-2 destruction of European champions Italy, Die Mannschaft have some of the most dangerous attacking wide players in the world from which to choose, with Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry bringing direct running and effervescence to the forward line. Throw in Josh Kimmich and İlkay Gündoğan in central midfield and the Germans have the firepower to go far in Qatar but need a win to restore the confidence in former Bayern Munich boss Flick.

This has the makings of a brilliant game, so follow our guide to get an England vs Germany live stream and watch the 2022 Nations League online from anywhere today.
