England will be hosting Switzerland on Tuesday as they look to continue their 100% win record in the European Qualifiers. They have played 7 games so far and won all 7 topping Group E with 21 points and will be looking to maintain their top position as they face the Swiss.
Roy Hodgson's men have two games still left to be played and they have nothing to lose considering the fact that they have already qualified for the Finals in France next year
hence they will go into this match with beaming with confidence.
Switzerland are currently at the 2nd place in the table right after England and one would expect them to be the next team from Group E that will compete for the Euro Cup next year.
They will be looking to give England good competition in order to win and move closer to qualifications. Like England, the Swiss too will be confident going into this game after their stunning late comeback against Slovenia back home that assured them a 3-2 victory.
