A friendly game between local rivals England Wales precedes a pair of UEFA Nations League clashes for both over the coming week. England are preparing for Wembley assignments against Belgium and Denmark, while Wales visit Ireland and Bulgaria between now and next Wednesday evening. 

Both teams have long since qualified for next summer's Euros, so this will be seen as an early opportunity to tinker with squads and blood a few new faces ahead of a big year. 

Southgate's squad includes three debutants in Bakayo Saka, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Harvey Barnes. All three have started the new Premier League season in blistering form, with Calvert-Lewin worthy of a place in tonight's starting line-up after a number of noteworthy displays for Everton already this campaign. 

Wales, meanwhile, have called up Rhys Norrington-Davies and Brennan Johnson, a pair of lower league players who have impressed already this season. Gareth Bale, who has returned to Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Real Madrid this season, misses out through injury. 

Wales will need him fit and firing ahead of next summer's tournament, but will use this opportunity to prepare players and formations that don't include the forward. 

Wembley plays host to England vs Wales this evening. Expect few fireworks between old foes, but plenty of tactical tinkering ahead of bigger clashes for each. 

Kick-off is at 8pm BST and the game is being shown on ITV and SC4 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch an England vs Wales live stream live stream from outside your country

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
