The England Football Association have confirmed that Gareth Southgate will remain as the coach of the national team until 2024 amidst a lot of speculation that he would be replaced following a disappointing World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Even though the Three Lions came to the World Cup as one of the favourites to lift the trophy, they were ultimately knocked out in the quarter-final stage by France, who reached the finals. This is one of the biggest failures for Southgate since taking over from Roy Hodgson in 2016. Since then, England have been able to reach the semi-final of the World Cup and final of the European Championship.

England and Wales face off each other on Tuesday, 29th November which is their final game in the group round. Both sides are keen to end this stage of games with a strong lead in points. England looks forward to making a strong statement after their lackluster game against the US. It ended with a score of 1-1 which Gareth Bale provided for the team.

Both sides have made excellent starts to the season with seven points from a possible nine, so it should be an entertaining encounter on the south coast.
