Players on international duty: Eight

Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye were part of the Senegal side who staged a dramatic 3-2 win over DR Congo, having fallen 2-0 down in Kinshasa, while striker Beto came off the bench to help Guinea-Bissau beat Djibouti and keep their slim hopes of qualifying for the World Cup alive.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford kept successive clean sheets to make it seven in a row for England, equalling his and Gordon Banks’ joint record. Pickford now has 40 clean sheets in total for the Three Lions, placing him level-third with David Seaman and only behind Joe Hart (43) and Peter Shilton (66).
