England vs Iceland head-to-head

The two teams have faced off five times before, with the last coming in Nov 2020 for a behind-closed-doors Nations League match at Wembley. England won 4-0 with Declan Rice and Phil Foden (2) scoring for their country for the first time. Mason Mount got the other goal. England also won their other Nations League match two months previous, thanks to Raheem Sterling’s penalty.

Before that came one of Iceland’s most memorable results to date, beating the Three Lions 2-1 to knock them out of Euro 2016, in what was Roy Hodgson’s last match as England manager.

It was Iceland’s first and only victory over England, after the Three Lions also won 6-1 in 2004 and drew 1-1 in a 1982 friendly.

What is the latest England news?

England captain Harry Kane is confident he will be fit and firing for the start of Euro 2024.

The former Tottenham striker missed the end of his domestic campaign with Bayern Munich due to a back injury but came off the bench to score in Monday’s 3-0 friendly victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Newcastle.

Kane told Channel 4: “I am feeling good. A lot of the end of season was precaution, of course there is a big summer coming up.

“We didn’t want to take risks with it. In the end it was a good chance to take a good break after a tough season.

“It has almost worked in my favour, missing the back end of the season. It gave me a chance to get a bit more rest than I was going to get.

“I’m not one who takes too long to get sharp and it was nice to get a goal there to get that feeling back again.”
