Lee Carsley's reign as England boss comes to an end today and he should sign off with the win that returns England to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
The Under-21s gaffer has done a decent job as caretaker and Thursday's impressive 3-0 victory in Athens returned the Three Lions to the top of Group B2.
Carsley kicked off with a 2-0 win in Dublin at the start of the section and he now brings the curtain down with another clash against the Republic of Ireland.
The Irish saw off Finland in midweek but it was a nervy display and they'll need to perform much better to stand a chance at Wembley.

England vs Republic of Ireland top betting tips
With Betano making England their 2/11 hot favourites, it's not easy finding a bit of value but combining the home win with under 3.5 goals pays a decent 20/23 with the same firm. That stands a chance as only one of England's games in this group has seen over 3.5 goals.
Jude Bellingham looked to be back to somewhere near his best in Athens and relished playing in his favourite position again. The Real Madrid star is 20/21 with Bet365 to either score or assist and that looks decent value.
Both of England's home games in this group have hit double figures for corners so over 9.5 flag kicks could also be worth a punt at 11/10 with Betano.
How the bookies view it: Three Lions rampant
It's no great surprise to see England as red-hot favourites for this one, with Betano pricing them at just 1/5. The Republic of Ireland are 12/1 outsiders and even the draw is pretty hefty at 9/2.

Italy vs France top betting tips
Something doesn't quite seem right in the French camp at the moment, with star man Kylian Mbappe's absence from the squad casting a dark shadow.
Les Bleus could only draw 0-0 at home to Israel in midweek and now travel to Milan to face a resurgent Italy who sit three points ahead of them at the top of Group A2.
After winning 1-0 in Belgium on Thursday, I thought the Azzurri would be slight favourites for this one but the bookies are sitting on the fence. Betano price Luciano Spalletti's side at 8/5 and that looks decent value with France in such disarray and Italy winning 3-1 in Paris earlier in the group.
France need a two-goal win if they're to replace Italy at the top of the group so it should be a decent watch. Over 2.5 goals looks good at 21/20 with Betano and adding on BTTS boosts the odds to 13/10.
This one could be quite spicy and Italy's Giovanni Di Lorenzo appeals for a card at 9/4 with Bet365 as he'll be up against some tricky French forwards.
Norway vs Kazakhstan top betting tips
Norway romped to a 4-1 win in Slovenia on Thursday night and will now be looking to sign off in style when Kazakhstan come calling.
A 5-1 battering by Austria looks set to cost the Norwegians top spot in the group as goal difference is keeping them below Ralf Rangnick's men at the top of Group B3.
But they should grab a few goals against a Kazakh defence that has conceded seven times across their two away games. Norway are 1/12 hot favourites at Betano but backing them to win both halves is better at 19/20.
Erling Haaland is unsurprisingly just 4/9 for anytime scorer at Bet365 but he was upstaged by Antonio Nusa on Thursday as the teenager hit a double. The RB Leipzig wonderkid is 21/10 for another goal here and that looks decent value.
