The big match 

Andorra vs England
Group I leaders England take on Andorra, who manager Gareth Southgate describes as a "really well-organised and disciplined team" despite picking up just three points from their six European Qualifiers.

A hat-trick away from a goalscoring landmark, Harry Kane, who has notched five campaign goals so far, could join fellow Tottenham man, the late Jimmy Greaves, on 44 in fourth place in England's all-time rankings. However, with Kieran Trippier confirmed to wear the captain's armband, the Three Lions' star striker is tipped to start on the bench.

In an impressive display the first time the sides met in Group I, Jesse Lingard struck twice and set up England's fourth goal as they brushed aside Els Tricolors in a 4-0 victory in September. Southgate's side, who "want to go one step further" than reaching the EURO 2020 final, drew 1-1 with Poland on Matchday 6 to remain unbeaten, whereas Koldo Álvarez's men have not tasted victory since their 2-0 defeat of San Marino last month.

Worth looking out for

• Poland welcome San Marino, where a Robert Lewandowski treble will take the Bayern forward to 75 international goals and joint tenth place in the list of the world's top international goalscorers. Ferenc Puskás (84) and Cristiano Ronaldo (111) are the only Europeans who have outscored him. Łukasz Fabiański will be hoping for a quiet game in his final outing for Poland.

• Switzerland will look to eat into UEFA Nations League hosts Italy's six-point lead at the top of Group C when they entertain Northern Ireland. Ukraine welcome Finland in Group D with both countries seven points shy of leaders France, and the Ukrainians on a bizarre run of five successive draws in the section.
