2020 FORESIGHT
This may be England's last scheduled fixture of a difficult 2020, but they can take heart from the manner in which they have signed off for the winter in recent years.
The Three Lions are unbeaten in the final game of the last six calendar years (W4, D2) since a 1-0 defeat at home to Germany in November 2013.
