England are now unable to qualify for the 2022-23 Nations League finals and anything less than a win against Italy at San Siro on Friday will see the Three Lions drop to League B for the first time in the tournament's short history.
Italy, meanwhile, are on five points in League A Group 3, one behind Germany, with Roberto Mancini's side still in with a shot of reaching the finals. The Euro 2020 winners also benefit from being able to focus solely on the Nations League after failing to book their ticket to this year's World Cup.
England boss Gareth Southgate will not read too much into the Azzurri's 5-2 defeat to Germany on matchday four, having seen his team lose by a 4-0 margin against Hungary last time out. That result left the Three Lions rock bottom of the group, but they can restore some pride by gaining revenge over the side that beat them in the Euro 2020 final.

Harry Kane will likely lead the line as he eyes Wayne Rooney's 53-goal record for England, with the Spurs striker now just three behind, while Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been introduced to the squad by Southgate and could be handed his debut.

Aaron Ramsdale is set to replace Jordan Pickford in goal, while John Stones is suspended after being sent off in the 4-0 loss to Hungary and Kyle Walker is being watched carefully after his recent knock.
