After securing qualification for Euro 2024, England is now aiming for the top spot in Group C to secure a high seeding at next summer’s tournament.
Gareth Southgate’s team will face Malta in their second-to-last fixture of the qualifying campaign. Malta, at the bottom of the group and without a point, lost the reverse fixture 4-0 in June, failing to register even a shot. They aim for a better performance against an England squad with a couple of regular members missing.
