England vs Switzerland takes place on Monday as the two teams open up their campaigns to qualify for Euro 2016. This qualifier could be pivotal in who qualifies for the tournament, and neither side will want to give the other the upper hand so early on, so expect a tight game.
Today's big game takes place at St Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland and will kick off at 7.45 p.m. BST (2.45 p.m. EST). The game can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
In team news, Jordan Henderson could miss the game due to an ankle injury he suffered during training ahead of the game. Reports indicate that the Liverpool midfielder limped out of a training session on Sunday, and that means it is likely Manchester City's James Milner will get the nod to replace him.
Wayne Rooney of course will be an influential player for England. The skipper will have to take more burden himself as England are without striker Daniel Sturridge, who has a thigh problem.
England will be hoping to get their campaign off to a perfect start, but at the very least coming away from Basel with a share of the spoils. A loss here would put them on the back foot from the start, and would signal an up hill battle to qualify right from the outset.
England had a tough World Cup in the summer, with Roy Hodgson's team losing to Italy and Uruguay before gaining a draw against Costa Rica. The team were knocked out in the group stages, and left Brazil demoralized and unsatisfied.
They now have a Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in a group that also features Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino.
