What do England have to do to qualify?

Following their victory over Slovakia, England can now qualify for the World Cup by getting two points from their final two matches, against Slovenia and Lithuania.

If England lose to Slovenia, and Slovakia beat Scotland, they would most likely be left in a must-win situation against Lithuania in their final group game.

But the Three Lions can qualify with a draw against the Slovenes if Slovakia fail to beat Scotland at Hampden Park.

When is England vs Slovenia?

Gareth Southgate's team host Slovenia on Thursday, October 5.
