The Three Lions gear up to host the Lions of Teranga.
This international friendly fixture takes us to the City Ground in Nottinghamshire, where England and Senegal lock horns against each other.
The EURO 2024 finalists have already put one foot in the American subcontinent to feature in the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their brilliant performance in the Group K matches of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. They have won all three games so far and are sitting atop the points table.
Thomas Tuchel’s side would be looking forward to making the most of this international window to test his squad strength as they gear up for the next set of matches in September.
The Senegalese national team, on the other hand, have been in sublime form so far. They have been unbeaten in their last five games, and a win against the Three Lions could be an optimistic result for the African side.
Despite being one of the very few teams to remain unbeaten in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, they find themselves in the second spot below table toppers Congo, who won a match more than Senegal and are ahead of them by a solitary point.

Players to watch :
Cole Palmer (England)
Palmer single-handedly carried his nation’s hopes in the Euro 2024 finals after The Three Lions trailed by a goal against Spain. His lack of game time was a major concern for England under their former gaffer, Gareth Southgate. Under Tuchel, he is set to flourish and exhibit his talent to help the English team become an infallible powerhouse in Europe as well as in international football.
Iliman Ndiaye (Senegal)
The 25-year-old Senegalese winger has played for teams like Sheffield United and Marseille before joining Everton in 2024. He has made a total of 26 appearances for the national team, with his most recent goal coming a year ago against Guinea in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
He has shown signs of brilliance as he won the Sheffield United Player of the Year Award in the 2022-23 season for his exemplary performance.
