Old friends meet again
Nothing new in today's World Cup draw as England were confirmed in Group I with Poland, Hungary, Albania, Andorra and San Marino, all of whom England have met before at this stage. Poland are the oldest of frenemies at the 7th time of asking. For both Albania and San Marino it will be the third time, whilst Hungary & Andorra the second. That's 24 previous World Cup qualifying meetings for England with this group. England should be well versed and well scouted.
First matches are due to start in March 2021.

Ireland, Belgium and Iceland
England take on Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland this coming week whilst we will also find out the final group opponent for England at Euro 2020. Firstly, the Three Lions will play Ireland at Wembley on Thursday in a hastily rearranged friendly match - England were due to play New Zealand, but they dropped out last month citing COVID restrictions. England haven't beaten Ireland since 1985 with the last five out of six games draws.
On Sunday, England travel to Brussels to play the return fixture against Belgium in UEFA's Nations League. England won 2-1 in London in October.
The final game is against Iceland and at time of writing the venue is still in doubt. The match was planned to take place at Wembley but due to new COVID restrictions on travel from Denmark - Iceland play there on Sunday - the game has been put into doubt. Germany and Albania could be potential alternatives.
Meanwhile Serbia host Scotland in the Euro2020 playoff on Thursday to decide which team will complete Group D at Euro 2020 along with England, Czech Republic and Croatia.

Wales, Belgium and Denmark visit Wembley.
Thursday's friendly match against Wales will be the first England match at Wembley since 14th November last year when Montenegro were thrashed 7-0 in Euro 20 qualifying. This, the 103rd meeting between the two old rivals and the first since Euro '16 when England prevailed with a stoppage time winner in Lens.
Sunday's game sees top ranked side Belgium visit as we head back to the UEFA Nations League. Again, England's last meeting with Belgium was in a major tournament but this time it ended 2-0 to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff of the Russian 2018 World Cup.
In the Nations League so far, England are unbeaten after a last minute win in Iceland and a draw in Denmark who will be the third team to visit on Wednesday for their reverse fixture.
