      England vs Belgium: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for Uefa Nations League

      by

      ENGLAND face arguably their biggest test since the World Cup as they host Belgium in the Uefa Nations League.
      The Three Lions come into this one off the back of a meeting with Wales in which Jack Grealish inspired a youthful line-up to a 3-0 win.

      But the visiting Red Devils come into this one top of this Nations League group and having been far more impressive than their hosts in the competition so far.
      In their first two matches, England won 1-0 in Iceland before drawing 0-0 in Denmark, while Belgium have beaten the same opposition 5-1 and 2-0 respectively.
      What time does England vs Belgium kick off?

      What TV channel is England vs Belgium on and can I live stream it?
      England vs Belgium is live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event.
      Coverage commences at 4pm – one hour before kick-off at Wembley.
      To stream the game live, head to your Sky Go account.
      Non-Sky Sports subscribers can still watch the match with a Now TV Day Pass from £9.99.
      Team news
      Gareth Southgate is likely to restore big guns such as Harry Kane, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Marcus Rashford and Eric Dier to the starting line-up after making several changes against Wales.
      But it remains to be seen whether trio Ben Chilwell, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham will be trusted so soon after attending a party which breached the rule of six – and therefore linking up with the squad late.

      For Belgium, there are question marks over the fitness of Eden Hazard, who has struggled for playing time with an ankle injury at Real Madrid this season.
      Latest odds
      England 7/4
      Draw 9/4
      Belgium 31/20
