conclude Lee Carsley's tenure as interim manager with a crucial match against Ireland today. Following their impressive on Thursday, the Three Lions know that a win will secure their return to League A of the Nations League.

However, anything less could provide an opportunity for the Greeks, who are playing Finland away. Despite being level on points, England have the advantage of a superior goal difference.

The team finishing second in the group will face a play-off against a third-place team from League A in March, a situation that England and incoming manager Thomas Tuchel will be eager to avoid. The German, who officially starts work in January, would much prefer to begin his tenure with a round of World Cup qualifiers.

Due to a series of late withdrawals, Carsley will have to select another makeshift team, an issue that has been criticised by some, including captain Harry Kane, who feels national duty should take precedent over club commitments.

Nevertheless, England's victory in Athens highlighted their depth of talent, which will please Tuchel. Here is everything you need to know about the Ireland game, including kick-off time, TV channel and streaming details...

What time does England vs Ireland kick-off?

The Group B2 match is scheduled to start at 5pm at the national stadium. In the interests of fairness, Finland vs Greece will kick-off at exactly the same time.
