Their squad is laced with talent, though many of Southgate's tried and trusted defensive personnel have been having a torrid time at club level. Walker-Peters and Guehi have been given a chance to show what they're capable of, with Harry Maguire the most high-profile casualty.

Switzerland were one of the surprise packages last summer, scoring freely and memorably beating then-favourites France on penalties after a mesmerising 3-3 draw. Granit Xhaka will be looking to make his mark, while Shaqiri will be full of confidence after recently ending a lengthy goal drought.

Embolo will trouble any defence on his day, though at the other end of the pitch the absences of Fabian Schar and Yann Sommer could prove terminal. Read on to find out how to watch an England vs Switzerland live stream from anywhere in the world today.
