England vs Hungary LIVE: World Cup qualifier team news, line-ups and more tonight

Mason Mount has been named on the shortlist for the 2021 Ballon d’Or award which is one of the oldest and most prestigious individual award for football players.

Mount who the Champions League last season with Chelsea and featured heavily throughout England’s run to the European Championship final

“It was special,” he said. “I probably found out at the same time as everyone else. To see that and to see the names, to be alongside those names, it’s obviously a dream.

“For all of the years that you work hard, dedicate… it shows that everything pays off and it’s just the start it, it doesn’t stop now.”

Harry Kane has scored 41 England goals and 36 of those have been netted in competitive internationals. In England’s history, only Wayne Rooney with 37 has ever scored more goals in competitive games than Kane.

Rooney scored one every 154 minutes in competitive games, while Kane is scoring on average one every 118 minutes.

Will the England captain beat Rooney’s record tonight?

England have won their last 21 major tournament qualifiers at home, scoring 73 goals and conceding seven since a 1-1 draw with the Ukraine in September 2012.

“What got us to the final of the Euros won’t be enough,” the England manager said. “There were four teams that were in the semi-finals this week. You saw the quality of the games, you saw the level of the players. We’ve got to make sure we are in that bracket of teams to be challenging. To do that we have to constantly be improving.”

Since losing 2-1 back in May 1962, England have only trailed for seven minutes in 14 games against Hungary, falling behind in an August 2010 friendly in the 62nd minute to a Phil Jagielka own goal, before Steven Gerrard equalised in the 69th minute.

England are unbeaten in their last 14 matches against Hungary in all competitions, with 12 wins and two draws, since losing 2-1 at the 1962 World Cup under Walter Winterbottom.

England’s players have arrived and checked out the pitch. Gareth Southgate elected to go with Phil Foden over Jordan Henderson after Foden’s brilliant display against Andorra at the weekend. Southgate has named an attacking starting line up who should be able to create a lot of chances against Hungary.

On paper tonight’s match seems like a foregone conclusion for an England team in great form but Hungary are no pushovers. They had a decent Euro 2020 and came within six minutes of qualifying for the knockout stages despite being in the ‘group of death’.

Their campaign started with a 3-0 defeat to Portugal but they responded well and held World Cup champions France to a 1-1 draw in their second game. Needing to defeat Germany to progress Hungary took a 2-1 lead with 20 minutes to go but a Leon Goretzka goal in the 84th minute earned Germany a draw and knocked the Hungarians out.

On top of that, in their last meeting with England they held out for 55 minutes before Raheem Sterling’s goal opened the floodgates. They have enough talent at both ends to cause England trouble and if the Three Lions are complacent it could tunr into a tricky night for them.

Marco Rossi has insisted quitting will not be an option even if Hungary lose to England at Wembley in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier.

Hungary have lost three of their last four matches, suffering home and away defeats to Albania allied to a 4-0 thrashing by England.

Qualification for Qatar 2022 already appears out of reach ahead of Hungary’s clash with England, but Italian manager Rossi remains undaunted.

England travelled to Hungary in the reverse of this fixture just over a month ago and faced a torrent of abuse from the fans. Racist remarks were yelled at them and projectiles thrown onto the pitch.

The Three Lions responded by battering Hungary 4-0 with all four goals coming in the second half. Raheem Sterling started the onslaught just after the restart with Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice finding the back of the net to put the icing on the cake for England.

It was a clinical, professional performance in the face of adversity and another sign of the maturity England have developed under Gareth Southgate’s leadership.
