Frank Lampard Will Take Keen Watching Brief if Jay Dasilva Plays Against England

Wales seek their 15th win in 146 years against England at Wembley, facing a strong England squad valued at £1.4 billion, under new coach Thomas Tuchel.

  • Thursday's Wembley friendly features the England national football team and Wales national football team in their 105th encounter, continuing a rivalry over 146 years old that began with fewer than one hundred spectators.
  • In its earliest days, the Wales–England fixture was played at venues like the Kennington Oval, where fewer than one hundred spectators watched Wales' first match and Billy Meredith emerged as an early star.
  • Recent matches include Euro 2016's 2-1 England win in Lens and Wales' 1984 victory at Ruabon, the last time Wales beat England, over 41 years ago.
  • Wales manager Craig Bellamy says his team will approach Wembley with intent rather than as tourists, with captain Ben Davies earning his 99th cap and the friendly prepping for Monday's Belgium qualifier.
  • Statistically, the fixture has favoured England heavily across decades, with Wales suffering 69 defeats and 21 draws while chasing just their fifteenth victory; the recent run of seven straight England wins keeps them clear favourites.
