      Ireland vs Scotland LIVE SCORE: Latest updates from Nations League clash – TV channel and live stream

      by

      IRELAND are up against rivals Scotland in a massive UEFA Nations League match this evening.Stephen Kenny’s side are in desperate need of a win if they’re to mount a comeback in their group.
      They currently sit bottom, having lost clashes with Armenia and Ukraine, while Scotland beat the first of those two sides.
      Scotland also find themselves top of their Nations League group, having played a game less than both Ireland and Armenia.
      Stay up to date with all the action in our live blog…
      Rep. Ireland 0-0 Scotland
      7. Scotland come forward with intent for the first time.
      McGinn feeds Christie in space 25 yards out, but the Bournemouth man opts not to take the long shot on.
      First time for everything, I suppose.
      Rep. Ireland 0-0 Scotland
      5. Gordon urges Scotland’s outfield players to calm it down.
      The visitors have been surprised by this early Irish tempo.
      Rep. Ireland 0-0 Scotland
      4. Early pressure from the Irish.
      A testing cross from Browne on the right is too high for Parrott, and too quick for Knight, and yet still requires Gordon to scamper down low to push out.
      Rep. Ireland 0-0 Scotland
      2. In fact, it wasn’t so much the challenge from Knight, but rather the way that McTominay landed on his ankle that has caused the problem.
      The Manchester United midfielder looks in some discomfort, and has hobbled off for further treatment.
      Rep. Ireland 0-0 Scotland
      1. Here we go! The two teams take the knee, and then it’s Scotland – in their changed white strip – that get us going at the Aviva Stadium.
      Ireland look up for this, and it doesn’t take Knight long to leave his mark on McTominay. Just 40 seconds, in fact.
      Here come the two teams!
      What an atmosphere at the Aviva! More than 50,000 fans welcome the players of Ireland and Scotland to the pitch for what is just the 12th ever game between the countries.
      And it’s a crucial game for both too. Ireland have never won a Nations League fixture, and this new generation of young stars desperately need a win to smooth their progress.
      For Scotland, it’s another opportunity to banish the heartbreak of World Cup play-off failure, and to continue working towards the Euro 2024.
      The action is coming up, but first the national anthems…
      The Nations state of play
      Here’s how they stand in League B, Group 1 ahead of kick-off in Dublin.
      Ukraine’s 3-0 thumping of Armenia earlier today means they occupy first place with maximum points from two games, but Scotland could join them with a second win of their own.
      Ireland have lost both of their matches so far, and are yet to score in the competition.

      Kenny: Home success long overdue
      Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny has called on his team to show they are capable of beating competitors in front of their own fans, and urges them to use a packed Aviva Stadium to their advantage.
      It’s important game for us, very important. The last significant home win against a team ranked above us was seven years ago in 2015. It will be a full house against Scotland, and should be a very special occasion.Stephen Kenny

      Among the Scotland substitutes tonight
      12 McCrorie, 21 Kelly, 2 Patterson, 6 Souttar, 9 Stewart, 14 Gilmour, 16 Taylor, 17 Armstrong, 18 Turnbull, 19 Brown, 20 Campbell, 22 Hickey
      Robertson, McGinn start for Scots
      Steve Clarke makes two changes to the team that started Wednesday’s routine victory over Armenia.
      In the back three, Grant Hanley returns to take over from John Souttar, and joins Scott McKenna and Jack Hendry.
      Manchester United’s Scott McTominay also comes in to the team, replacing Southampton’s Stuart Armstrong in midfield.
      It’s a 3-4-2-1 shape for Scotland, who have left wing-back Andy Robertson leading the team, and Che Adams leading the line.
      1 Gordon; 12 Hendry, 5 Hanley, 15 McKenna; 23 Ralston, 4 McTominay, 8 McGregor, 3 Robertson; 7 McGinn, 11 Christie; 10 Adams

      On the home side’s bench
      12 O’Leary, 23 Travers, 2 Christie, 2 Stevens, 7 Robinson, 8 Hourihane, 9 Keane, 13 Hendrick, 18 O’Shea, 20 Hogan, 21 Hamilton, 22 Lenihan
      Kelleher in goal for Ireland
      Stephen Kenny rings the change after his Republic of Ireland team were beaten at home by Ukraine in midweek.
      The 50-year-old makes five changes to his line-up, and also opts for a switch in shape.
      In come James McClean, Alan Browne, Jayson Molumby, Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi to replace Cyrus Christie, Enda Stevens, Jeff Hendrick, Callum Robinson and Chiedozie Ogbene.
      And instead of a back three, it appears as those the hosts are going with a flat back four – flanked by Nathan Collins on the right and McClean on the left – that makes up a 4-3-3 formation.
      1 Kelleher; 12 N Collins, 4 Duffy, 5 Egan, 11 McClean; 14 Browne, 6 Cullen, 15 Molumby; 10 Parrott, 19 Obafemi, 17 Knight

      Dublin clash has bookies beat
      The bookmakers make Scotland the slightest of favourites for this evening’s Nations League encounter with the Republic of Ireland, but – in truth – there’s very little in the betting.

      Ireland win 15/8
      Draw 15/8
      Scotland win 13/8

      Odds from Betfair correct at the time of post publication.
      Good afternoon from the Aviva
      Welcome to our live coverage of the Nations League clash between the Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
      If Irish eyes are to be smiling this evening, then a home win in Dublin will be crucial.
      Stephen Kenny’s Republic have lost both of their League B, Group 1 encounters so far – a pair of 1-0 defeats to Ukraine and Armenia – and sit bottom of the table.

      England vs Italy: Three Lions have chance for revenge after Italians sang ‘It’s Coming Rome’ after Euro 2020 final

      by

      LESS than a year ago Italy broke English hearts.With the Three Lions in their first major final since 1966, they came agonisingly close to ending the wait for a trophy.

      But it was the Azzurri who won the Wembley penalty shoot-out on that July evening last summer.
      And boy did they enjoy it.
      The Italian team and their supporters memorably turned England fan’s national anthem into their own as they belted out ‘It’s Coming Rome’.
      Images of Leonardo Bonucci singing the bastardised version of the song under the Wembley arch are seared onto the minds and hearts of every England fan.

star booted out by partner after splashing £55k on escort
      So tonight, when England face Italy in the Nations League, there is undoubtedly an edge.
      Few Three Lions fans would have failed to take some pleasure in seeing Italy fail to qualify for this winter’s World Cup so soon after winning the Euros.
      But now comes a chance to stick it to them directly.
      Italy’s expected line-up will be very different to the side that triumphed last summer – possibly just Giovanni di Lorenzo and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will retain their places from that night.

      But seeing the Italian shirts will still be like a rag to a bull – and England fans will hope it can spark the Three Lions to go for the kill after two lacklustre performances in the Nations League so far.
      Not only can England get some sort of revenge – they badly need a result to boost their Nations League campaign after a loss to Hungary and draw in Germany.
      It won’t be easy though – Italy have lost just two of their last 15 games against England.
      Italy manager Roberto Mancini denies revenge is what England are looking for, saying in the build up: “This is a different match in the Nations League.
      “For them it’s important to try something new for the World Cup and England may change many players for this game.
      “In the future maybe they will want revenge… but not now.

      Watch Kylian Mbappe roast Austria defenders with crazy pace as France star’s equaliser denies Ralf Rangnick landmark win

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE came off the bench to rescue a dramatic late point for France against Austria.The Paris Saint-Germain star demonstrated his explosive speed by leaving the opposition defence for dead in the 83rd minute.

      New Austria boss Ralf Rangnick could only watch on in frustration as Christopher Nkunku’s pass set Mbappe through on goal to deny the Manchester United flop a famous win.
      The hitman turned on the afterburners as he zipped away from the likes of David Alaba before firing home with a sharp finish.
      The result rescued a point for World Cup winner Didier Deschamps.
      But France remain without a win in three Nations League matches.

      They first lost 2-1 to Denmark before conceding a late equaliser against Croatia on Monday.
      Austria took the lead after 37 minutes through Andreas Weimann, who tapped in from close range after a counter attack.
      But Mbappe, who came on with half an hour remaining, had other ideas with his equaliser seven minutes from time.
      And the striker almost won it for France in the dying moments when his shot was deflected by Austria’s goalie onto the bar.

      Mbappe said: “That’s not what we came for but we’ll take that point and try to win on Monday.
      “I’m not 100% fit but I’ll play if I have to. It’s the last match before the holidays so we can push it a little bit.”
      Boss Deschamps added: “I’m disappointed that we didn’t score more with all the chances we had.
      “Sometimes we score more goals with less opportunities but I’m not worried. I’ve had to do with minor injuries and fatigue.”
      France end their international campaign with a second game against Croatia on Monday.

      ‘I’ll quit when I’m not wanted’ – Gareth Southgate launches fierce defence of his England tactics after ‘cautious’ jibes

      by

      GARETH SOUTHGATE has launched a fierce defence of his tactics — and says he will quit as England boss if he is not wanted.The Three Lions chief pulled no punches following claims of negativity in last week’s 1-0 loss to Hungary and the 1-1 draw in Germany.

      Ahead of Saturday’s clash with Italy, Southgate declared: “I won’t outstay my welcome.
      “I am always going to have situations where people are going to disagree with the selection.”
      Former England striker Gary Lineker has accused Southgate of being “overly cautious” and questioned whether Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold are being under-used.
      Southgate took England to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020, where they lost to Italy in a penalty shootout.

      And the England boss added: “That noise over the last two or three years does seem extremely loud and I have had to ride that and get on with it through the Euros and the whole of last summer.
      “I can see that’s where it is again. That’s what I have got to deal with. Lots of other international managers have the same.
      “I’m sure the manager of Brazil has the same. I know the manager of France does and he has won more than I have. So that is the landscape.
      “I’ve got to find a balance because I don’t want to sit and be defensive but some people have managed teams and others haven’t.

      “Until you’ve managed teams, you have a different view of the game.”
      Southgate, who took the job in 2016, signed a new deal before Christmas that runs until 2024.
      He added: “We’ve done a good job for the team.
      “We’ll continue to improve the team and we’re also developing young players that will leave England in a good place for a long period.”
      “Of course for the man on the terrace who pays his money, I totally understand he wants to see a Grealish with a Raheem Sterling, with Bukayo Saka.
      “But you’ve got to have balance in the team — this is top-level football.
      “That balance, in getting to a semi-final and final, has been pretty good and we’ve talked for years about why we haven’t got there.
      Southgate could make several changes to his starting XICredit: Richard Pelham / The Sun

      “Maybe that balance hasn’t been where it might have been before.
      “Criticism is going to continue — but I’ve got to manage in the way I see fit. Don’t get me wrong, I sense where the room is with it.”
      And in response to his apparent under-use of some fans’ favourites, Southgate also pointed out that both Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden have been frequently unavailable for England matches.
      And he added that Grealish is often on the bench for Manchester City, as well as England.
      Southgate said: “I hear about conservatism — but we were the highest scorers in Europe last year.  I don’t quite know what more you can do.
      “It is not nice when you are on the receiving end. You file it, you use it to motivate yourself, and you totally understand it is part and parcel of being a manager.
      “But I can’t be swayed by popular opinion, or I would pick 15 players for each game and have 28 players in each squad.
      “That is the hard part — to pick every player you talk about. You have to leave other players out.”

      Southgate knows expectations have increased ahead of this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.
      He said: “I’m totally aware of it — and I am totally calm about it. I’d rather be involved with a team where the expectation is high.
      “The players have that desire and hunger.
      “They have got close twice and they do not need to worry about what the expectation is. They want it. They feel the urgency, the need — they are desperate to be champions.
      “For me, I’m totally aware of it — I am totally calm about it. I know what will be expected. I know the consequences if we don’t get there and I am totally happy about it.”
      Meanwhile, Southgate reiterated that it is humiliating that Saturday’s game against Italy is behind closed doors after trouble at the Euro 2020 final.
      Up to 3,000 school- children and their guardians will be allowed inside Molineux to see the game.
      Southgate said: “It is an embarrassment for England as a country.

      Tough task ahead for champions
      At the halfway stage, France find themselves four points behind table toppers Denmark.
      With only three games to play, Les Bleus will no doubt need to win all of their games to stand any chance of progressing.
      Denmark are in the driving seat to eliminate the defending champions.
      Benzema unable to find Madrid form
      You could never question the talents of a player such as Karim Benzema.
      The Madrid striker has had a season that has led many to talking about him as a sure thing for the Balon D’or.
      Despite the fantastic season he enjoyed, he was unable to have that same effect on this French team today.
      The World Cup in Qatar probably offers itself as the talisman’s last chance to have a crack at the trophy.

      Rangnick finds his form with Austria
      Since beginning his stint as head coach of Austria, Das Team have blossomed.
      Their only defeat being a harsh one against Denmark, despite having an abundance of chances.
      The UEFA Nations League is a competition they can focus on having not qualified for the World Cup in Qatar.
      Blessed with talent, reliant on Mbappe
      France have household names in all areas of the pitch.
      This game was a mismatch in terms of the squads available to their managers.
      Aside from all the options Deschamps seems to have, they always seem to rely on the explosive Kylian Mbappe to get them out of trouble.
      Les Bleus needing to up the ante
      For all the talent this French squad is blessed with, it seems more and more that teams are finding ways to get results against them.
      When it comes to the World Cup in Qatar, these kind of tactics could result in Didier Deschamps side being on an early flight to Paris.
      The coach must be under pressure to put a good showing to defend their crown.
      FT: Austria 1-1 France
      The referee brings the game to an end.
      A great performance by Ralf Rangnick’s side although the ex-Man Utd manager will feel they could have won it.
      Didier Deschamps’ side have yet to win a game in this campaign.

      83. Great assist by Nkunku as he fed Mbappe.
      The weight of the pass was brilliant, the French striker taking it into his path and going through on goal.

      Austria 1-0 France
      76. Lloris comes charging out to cut out a ball over the top.
      France turn defence into attack again and put Austria on the back foot.

      Austria 1-0 France
      74. France really have dominated this game since the break.

      70. Austria have a rare counter-attack.
      They cannot breach the French defence.

      Austria 1-0 France
      66. Benzema and Mbappe scored 84 goals between them in the domestic season that has just passed.
      All Les Bleus need to do is to find a single goal to equalise.
      Austria are not known for their ability to keep clean sheets at home.
      Austria 1-0 France
      64. France are turning the screw at the moment.
      Probing their opponents looking to find a breakthrough.
      France win their third consecutive corner.
      Austria 1-0 France
      62. Griezmann is brought off for Mbappe.
      Tchouameni comes off for Guendouzi.
      Looks like Austria are going to make some changes too.
      Austria 1-0 France
      60. It looks as though Kylian Mbappe’s warm up routine is finished.
      Possibly the worst thing the Austrian defence could see.
      Meanwhile Arnautovic has a half chance on the counter attack but cannot take advantage.
      Austria 1-0 France
      58. France seem to be playing a more direct style in this half.
      But while the hosts keep them out, they hold the advantage.
      Rangnick’s side have not really offered much going forward so far in this half.

      And this time around they have the added incentive of avenging the Euro 2020 final.
      Italy beat the Three Lions on penalties at Wembley last summer to deny them a first ever European Championship and take the title to Rome.
      But things have taken a turn for the worse for Roberto Mancini’s men since then and, unlike England, they will not be participating in November’s World Cup.
      What time does England vs Italy kick off?

      What TV channel is England vs Italy on and can I live stream it?

      Channel 4 is the new home of England’s international fixtures.
      Coverage commences at 7pm – 45 minutes before kick-off.
      To stream the game live, head to the Channel 4 website.

      Can I watch England vs Italy for free?

      Yes. Channel 4 is FREE for all UK viewers with a TV licence.

      Team news
      Kalvin Phillips was forced off early in England’s draw with Germany with a “severe dead leg” and is a big doubt for this game.
      Jack Grealish is likely to be handed a start after impressing as a substitute in Munich.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold has left the squad however.
      Roberto Mancini is likely to start with one of Arsenal target Gianluca Scamacca Giacomo Raspadori despite none scoring in the past previous matches.
