• Southgate: ‘There’s going to be some difficult games for us’
• Scotland will be facing Croatia, Portugal and Poland

England and the Republic of Ireland will meet competitively for the first time since 1991 in the next edition of the Nations League.

Gareth Southgate’s side and the Republic are also up against the Euro 2004 winners, Greece, and Finland in Group B2. They avoided a long trip to Kazakhstan under Uefa’s excessive travel restriction rules, with the former Soviet republic placed in Group B3 instead.
