Familiar foes Croatia and England tangle once again in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel’s men were victorious in a 4-2 thriller at the World Cup over the summer, while a semifinal triumph at the semifinal stage of the 2018 tournament remains one of Croatia’s finest hours.
England have had the better of the rivalry since then, taking four points from the two matches in the inaugural 2018/29 Nations League, before claiming a 1-0 win at Wembley in the opening game of Euro 2020.
Each side has three points from their first two games in Group A3, thanks to respective wins over Czechia and defeats to world champions Spain.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
