England are taking on Poland tonight in Warsaw in what is a crunch match at the top of Group I in World Cup qualifying. Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2020 finalists are currently top of the group with the maximum 15 points from five games, while Poland sit second with 10 points, as they battle for the one automatic qualifying spot to reach Qatar next year.

England won 2-1 when they met at Wembley back in March, thanks to Harry Maguire’s late winner. But this promises to be a different encounter away from home and with Robert Lewandowski – injured six months ago – restored to the Polish line-up as captain and goalscoring talisman.

England are ringing the changes after a 4-0 win over Andorra, with a line-up closely resembling the team which progressed to the final at the Euros set to take to the field once more, with Harry Kane captaining the side and leading the line.

Poland 0 – 0 England

30 mins: It’s been a tough half an hour for England. Poland have been solid on the counter-attack and they look stronger on the ball. England haven’t managed to properly transition into the final third yet. Poland haven’t let them.

BIG CHANCE! Pickford stops Lewandowski

28 mins: That’s the best chance for the game! Lewandowksi drives the ball inside from the left anf shakes off a couple of tackles. The ball comes loose but he slides after it and manages to tap a pass into Linetty. Lewandowski is back up in a flash and sprints into the box as Linetty chips the ball over to him. He brings it down and looks to flick it over Pickford but the goalkeeper gets both hands to the ball and makes the save!

Poland 0 – 0 England

24 mins: There’s a well fought battle playing out in midfield as both teams try to control the ball press the other back. Walker has pushed up a number of times to help out with Phillips and Rice dropping deeper to cover the defence. Walker wins the ball again and sends it up to Grealish who’s sprinted across to the right side to receive the ball. He carries it to the byline before being dragged down by Kamil Glik. Again though the referee lets play continue.

Poland 0 – 0 England

21 mins: Almost! England haven’t had a great deal to celebrate but Raheem Sterling makes something happen. He’s given the ball wide on the right and decides to take on Puchacz by shifting the ball towards the byline and sprinting after it. He beats the left-back to the loose ball and whips a pinpoint cross into the box where Kane pops up. The England captain has a free header but he can’t find the target.

CLOSE! Buksa nearly scores for Poland

18 mins: Walker closes down the ball in midfield but it’s played past him and Puchacsz is free to sprint into the vacant space on England’s right flank. He drives the ball forward before swinging a very good cross into the middle. Adam Buksa hangs on the shoulder of Maguire and both men dive for the ball but it flies past them only a couple of inches away from Buksa’s outstretched leg.

Poland 0 – 0 England

15 mins: Lewandowski weaves his way into the front centre part of England’s penalty area but is closed down by John Stones and Harry Maguire. He slips the ball out to Moder approaching from the left but Walker is on to him quickly and Moder’s shot comes simply through to Jordan Pickford.

Poland 0 – 0 England

12 mins: England’s free kick is sent into the box by Shaw. Grealish and Lewandowski tussle to get there with the big Bayern Munich striker going to ground. A failed clearance almost drops for Harry Maguire but the ball bounces too high for him to wrap his foot around.

Poland 0 – 0 England

9 mins: England aren’t getting a lot of the decisions. There’s been a couple of strange decisions against the Three Lions. Kalvin Phillips has been booked for standing on Puchacz’s right left foot as he spun away from a challenge.

Finally England win a free kick as Grealish draws in Jozwiak and shifts the ball away from him at the last moment causing the defender to take him out.

Poland 0 – 0 England

6 mins: Poland have had the better start to the game. Declan Rice is forced to track back and help out Luke Shaw as the home side attack down the right side again. Rice blocks a low cross and gives away a corner. Jakub Moder fires the set piece into the box, Lewandowksi misses the ball as he tries to head it at goal but it comes to Karol Linetty whose shot is cleared by Harry Kane.

3 mins: Robert Lewandowski gives the ball to Kamil Jozwiak who sends the ball down the right wing for Pawel Dawidowicz. The right back whips in a deep cross and finds Tymoteusz Puchacz arriving at the far side of the box. The Polish left back meets the ball on the volley but his strike is blocked by Kyle Walker.
