England vs San Marino live stream: How to watch World Cup qualifier online and on TV tonight

England are on the verge of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup and will book their place in Qatar tonight if they avoid defeat by San Marino.

While the outcome of the final fixture in Group I is largely a formality, due to San Marino’s position at the foot of the Fifa world rankings, England will want to finish their 2021 campaign with a positive performance.

Gareth Southgate’s side hit five past Albania at Wembley on Friday, with Harry Kane scoring a first-half hat-trick, but the England manager is expected to make several changes to his side.

England defeated San Marino 5-0 in the reverse fixture in March, and the international minnows are yet to pick up a point in Group I, scoring just one goal and conceding 36 in their nine fixtures so far.

Here’s everything you need to know before the match tonight.
