England vs Malta: match preview

England essentially qualified for Euro 2024 when they beat Italy at Wembley last time out, but Gareth Southgate will not be expecting his team's levels to drop when they host Malta tonight.

The Three Lions sit top of Group C, with just the two sides propping up the table left to play. Fans and players alike will see that as a good opportunity to complete the campaign without tasting defeat, and England's record against Malta suggests it won't be under much threat tonight. They've won all four meetings between the two sides, including the reverse fixture back in June when goals from Harry Kane, Trent-Alexander-Arnold and an own-goal by Ferdinando Apap had the game all but won by half time, before Callum Wilson made sure from the spot.

That was just one of Malta's seven defeats so far in the campaign, which leaves the Reds seven points behind North Macedonia in fourth. With this their final game, Michele Marcolini's side are destined to finish bottom of the group no matter what happens, but they were always going to struggle against such strong opponents. Just two goals scored – an opener against Ukraine and a consolation versus North Macedonia – plus 18 conceded suggests Malta will just be hoping they can keep the score down, and have something to tell the grandkids.
