London’s Wembley Stadium hosts England against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, with Thomas Tuchel’s side carrying the momentum of a seven-goal statement in Croatia into the fourth matchday of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League.
England chase Spain at the top
- England arrive after a 7-0 away victory over Croatia, a result that transformed the mood around their Group A3 campaign.
- Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scored twice in that win, giving England a major attacking lift before their return to Wembley.
- The English sit second in the section on six points, three behind leaders Spain, and can keep pressure on the top of the group with another home result.
- The Czech Republic were beaten 3-1 by Spain in their most recent outing and remain without a point after losing each of their first three matches.
The visitors need a response in London if they are to revive a campaign that has quickly become difficult. With qualification hopes receding, Santi Denia’s team face one of the group’s strongest tests against an England side encouraged by its performance in Croatia.
