It may only be a friendly but a lot is hanging on this clash in terms of the future of the Three Lions. Interim manager, Gareth Southagate, looks set to be appointed the permanent manager and has one last chance to prove his worth to The FA by toppling the three time European Champions in London on Tuesday night.
