It is a complicated group, because Italy missed two matchdays to play the Nations League Final Four in June.

The top two qualify directly for the EURO 2024 tournament.

Gareth Southgate’s team had a 100 per cent record and beat Ukraine 2-0 back in March, but were unable to go beyond a 1-1 draw this evening in Poland.

Arsenal player Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring from a well-worked move, cancelled out by Kyle Walker’s debut England goal.

England are now on 13 points from five games, while Ukraine have seven points from four matches played.

Italy are on three points from two fixtures, North Macedonia also on three points but with an extra game under their belts.

Malta have lost all four matches.

Italy host Ukraine at San Siro on Tuesday night.
