The England squad will reunite for the first time since their Euro 2020 final defeat when they take a trip to Budapest to play Hungary on Thursday evening.
Gareth Southgate's young Three Lions head into this match hungry for all three points as they look to qualify for next year's World Cup in Qatar, but they face a stern side in Marco Rossi's Hungary.
Hungary were surprisingly tough to beat during the summer's European Championships, despite being drawn in the 'Group of Death' with Portugal, France and Germany.
They ended up losing just once, earning draws against world champions France and Germany - but can they got one better and cause an upset against England?

Hungary vs Wales betting tips & predictions
Hungary are 7/1 to win, with England priced at 4/9 to come away with the victory. A draw is priced at 16/5.
Prediction: 0-2 (9/2) | Half-Time/Full-Time: England/England (11/10)
Advert
England have an exceptional record against Hungary and have won six of the last seven encounters between the two nations.
Interestingly, the Three Lions have led at half-time in three of their last five matches and, as a result of that, we’re backing Southgate’s men to lead from the first to last whistle in this one.
To Score a Header: Harry Maguire (11/1)
Advert
Considering the emphasis that Southgate has put on corners, Harry Maguire has moulded into a serious aerial threat for England.
The Manchester United captain scored in the quarter-final against Ukraine, and also had a headed shot on target in the matches against Denmark and Germany.
Anytime Goalscorer: Raheem Sterling (13/8)
Advert
During England's European Championship run to the final, Raheem Sterling was flawless in each and every game, causing mayhem for defenders of the opposition.
During the tournament, Sterling scored three times and we're backing him to score again on Thursday night as England look to put to bed a Hungary side that conceded six in three games this summer.
