Looking ahead towards the remainder of the qualifying phase – England look set to dominate but Scotland certainly have a solid chance of earning progression through to the World Cup in Russia. Needless to say, they will be hoping for any type of a point here against an England side that is still very much in transition and finding its feet under the new regime.

There is a lot to like about England's chance here and you can bag a 2/5 price tag on them to win the contest outright against the Scots. Expect the volume to pick up over the course of the last hour or so prior to kick off and it's also worth remembering that it will be a rather popular selection in any big accumulator tickets unfolding across the other series of World Cup Qualifiers.

Scotland can be backed as high as a 9/1 price tag for the outright win here depending on whom you're wagering with. The draw can be backed as a 4/1 price tag right now and that's not a bad wager if you're a Scotland fan and really think that your lads can hang on and eek out a 0-0 draw or maybe snatching a late leveler after England appeared to be cruising towards yet another underperforming 1-0 margin of victory.

Expect England to come out of the gates with a pretty offensive-minded set-up, and you have to reckon that Wayne Rooney will be viewing this as a type of contest where he can really stamp his name on it. Look for him to put together a good tempo to his passing and really use his distribution more so than his positioning, to allow his younger and faster teammates the opportunity to get behind the Scottish defense – who will likely be playing a rather high line.
