Lee Carsley continues his long goodbye as caretaker England boss in the Nations League and will be out for revenge in Athens tonight.
The Wembley loss to the Greeks remains the only blot on Carsley's copybook, with the Three Lions easing to a couple of victories over Finland and another win in Dublin against the Irish.
His decision to play Jude Bellingham as a false nine that night backfired spectacularly but with Harry Kane fit again it will be a more conventional formation for what should be a group decider.
Incoming boss Thomas Tuchel will be watching will interest and the England players face a test of mettle in what will be a red-hot atmosphere as Greece bid to claim a first victory over England on home soil.

Greece vs England top betting tips
England have been rocked by a series of call-offs but that might actually help Carsley a little as his biggest problem last time was trying to accommodate the likes of Phil Foden, Bellingham and Cole Palmer into the same team.
Having Kane back to lead the line is another huge boost and the captain looks good value at 33/20 with Unibet for anytime scorer.
England need to win by two goals to replace Greece at the top of the pile so it should be a good watch. As we saw at Wembley, the Greeks pose a big threat on the counter attack and it bodes well for goals at both ends.
Backing both teams to score looks good value at evens with Betano and combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/8.
Attacking midfielder Anastasios Bakasetas scored in Greece's last game against Ireland and could be worth a punt at 13/10 with Unibet just to get an effort on target tonight.
Republic of Ireland vs Finland top betting tips
The other game in England's group sees the Republic of Ireland host a Finland side who have lost all four of their matches so far in this section.
The most painful of those defeats came at home to the Irish as Robbie Brady netted two minutes from time to seal a come-from-behind 2-1 victory in Helsinki.
That gave new Irish boss Heimir Hallgrímsson his first victory but the Icelandic coach then came back down to earth with a 2-0 loss in Athens.
Betano make the Republic their 13/20 hot favourites with home advantage but it should be a tight game and backing a one-goal winning margin for either side pays 13/10 at McBookie.
Sammie Szmodics comes into the game on a high after scoring an overhead kick for Ipswich in their weekend win over Spurs. He's 11/5 at Bet365 for another strike tonight.
Belgium vs Italy top betting tips
The best Nations League game for neutrals to watch tonight will probably come in Brussels as rejuvenated Italy look to continue their unbeaten run against Belgium.
Luciano Spalletti has the Italians flying again and they've already beaten France 3-1 on the road. Their only dropped points so far in the group came at home to the Belgians but that 2-2 draw only came after a first-half red card for the Azzurri, who had been leading 2-0.
The Red Devils are always a tough nut to crack at home so this is a tricky one to call. Going for goals looks the best option, especially as these sides played out a thriller in their last meeting, and over 2.5 strikes looks good at a best 49/50 with Unibet.
Combining over 2.5 goals with BTTS will boost the price to 59/50 in a bet builder at Betano. Aston Villa's Amadou Onana should be at the heart of the midfield battle and he's 21/10 at Bet365 to go into the book.

On a good wee run at the moment. Hope to keep it going with Greece most corners against England at 7/4 and Belgium most corners versus Italy at 10/11.
Belgians like a corner and play with plenty width. England just don’t cross the ball, so will take a chance on the Greeks who like to get forward.

England stepped up to down my bets. then Bellingham pops up to assist an own goal at 12/1 😆. What a finish by Curtis Jones.
