Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling celebrate for England against Bulgaria in Euro 2020 qualifying
  • England and Kosovo have never previously faced in an international match.
  • England have avoided defeat in each of their last 42 EURO/World Cup qualifying matches (W33 D9 L0), since losing 0-1 to Ukraine in October 2009.
  • This is England’s second match at St. Mary’s Stadium and first since October 2002, when they drew 2-2 with Macedonia in a Euro 2004 qualifier. They also played at Southampton’s old ground, The Dell, for one game in March 1901, winning 3-0 against Ireland.
  • Kosovo are unbeaten in their last 15 matches in all competitions (W10 D5) and are looking to win three in a row for the first time since May 2018.
  • England haven’t lost a home competitive match not played at Wembley since the same day Charlie Chaplin released his final silent film Modern Times in February 1936, when they lost 2-1 to Wales at Molineux in a Home Nations match – they are unbeaten in 29 games since (W23 D6 L0).
  • Milot Rashica has had a hand in more goals than any other Kosovo player in Euro 2020 qualifiers (2 goals, 1 assist), also creating five goalscoring chances in the process.
  • Marcus Rashford has scored in all three of his home England internationals played away from Wembley, netting at the Stadium of Light against Australia, Elland Road against Costa Rica and the King Power against Switzerland.
  • Harry Kane has now scored 18 goals for England whilst wearing the captain’s armband - only Alan Shearer (20), Bryan Robson (20) and Vivian Woodward (23) have scored more such goals for the Three Lions.
