England will take on San Marino this evening as another round of World Cup 2014 qualifiers take place.

Roy Hodgson’s charges required a late penalty from Frank Lampard to salvage a draw in their last match against Ukraine, but with San Marino considered to be the weakest side in the group, the England coach will expect nothing less than three points and a number of goals.

The sides last met in this country in 1993, with England running out 6-0 winners thanks to four strikes from David Platt and goals from Carlton Palmer and Les Ferdinand at the old Wembley Stadium.

San Marino last tasted victory in an international match was on 27th April 2004 when they beat Liechtenstein 1-0 in a friendly. It remains their only win.

Adrian Chiles will present coverage of this evening’s Group H qualifier from Wembley Stadium, with analysis from Roy Keane, Lee Dixon and Gareth Southgate and commentary by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend.

The build-up begins at 7.30pm on ITV1, kick-off 8pm..
