The match, which is taking place at Ta' Qali National Stadium, will get underway at 7:45 pm local time on Friday evening.

This game holds a great deal of significance for the English side.

England wants to solidify the top spot in the group, and they can do so with a victory against Malta on Friday.

England has scored 10 goals over the course of their 6 qualifying games so far while allowing just 2 against. Malta, which has lost every qualifying game so far, has scored 2 goals while allowing 15.
