England will be looking to secure their first win of their Nations League campaign as they take on Italy at Molineux this evening, almost a year on from their heart breaking defeat in the Euro 2020 final.
Gareth Southgate's side rescued a point in their second Group A match on Tuesday, with Harry Kane scoring a late penalty in Munich to notch his 50th goal for the national team and snatch a point against Germany.
And the Three Lions will be hoping to go one better this evening as they look to avenge the Azzurri as they lock horns for the first time since the Euro 2020 final. However this time, they will not have the same backing as they did at Wembley 12 months ago.

Following the final at Wembley last year, the Three Lions were hit with a two-game ban, one suspended, following the behaviour of fans in the build up to England's first final since their World Cup triumph in 1966, overshadowing what was a fantastic campaign for Southgate's side.
An attendance of just 3,000 will be allowed inside Molineux this evening, after a change in UEFA rules which has allowed children to be in attendance to watch the Nations League clash.
But why Molineux? Following the announcement, the FA decided to lease Wembley out for Capital Radio's Summertime Ball which takes place on Sunday.
England fans will be allowed to watch their team one final time ahead of the Premier League season which commences on August 6th, with tickets being sold as normal for their second match against Hungary on Tuesday evening, which will again be hosted at Molineux.

Germany and Italy are the other teams in England’s group so Gareth Southgate will want to kick off the Three Lions’ run with a positive result this evening.
