England's 1000th game in pictures: Highlights of the Wembley celebrations

England are celebrating their 1,000 senior men's match tonight at Wembley Stadium - but Gareth Southgate's side still have a job to do.

The Three Lions need one point from their remaining two Group A matches to qualify for Euro 2020, meaning they only need a draw tonight against Montenegro.

But Southgate will be hoping for a dominant display from his side - particularly with the pre-match narrative driven by the manager's decision to drop Raheem Sterling following his bust-up with Joe Gomez at St George's Park.

England are heavy favourites to win heavily tonight after beating Montenegro 5-1 in the reverse fixture.

With a buoyant Wembley crowd featuring some of the legends of the English game, Southgate will also want his side to put on a show and get the focus back on the footballing side of things.

Scroll through the gallery above for the best photos and highlights from Wembley.
