How to watch England vs Switzerland: TV channel, kick-off time and live stream today

England begin their preparations for the 2022 World Cup with a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday. Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has brought in Kyle Walker-Peters along with Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell and Marc Guehi, all three of whom could make their international debuts.

Guehi will be vying to take a spot in the starting line-up ahead of the World Cup with centre-back places seemingly up for grabs amid the current struggles of Manchester United captain Harry Maguire. Returning to the squad is Southampton's Fraser Forster, who comes in after Sam Johnstone withdrew from the squad while Bukayo Saka is out with COVID, although no replacement has been called up.

Joining Maguire in the squad is his United colleague Luke Shaw, while Manchester City players John Stones, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden are all involved.
