Hungary get us underway...
19:45
A minute's applause for Jimmy Greaves and Roger Hunt before kick-off.
19:43
Anthems polished off, we're almost ready to go.
19:39
The players are making their way out onto the field now.
19:32
After their defeat against Albania in midweek made qualification virtually impossible one might wonder about the motivation of the Hungarian side, but at Wembley - especially given their history - you would expect them to go all out, especially in the first half.
19:27
Southgate has confirmed that Foden will be in a withdrawn role where we will hopefully see more of his 50-yard precision passes and dribbles setting up play from midfield.
19:17
Of course this generation of Magyars put up a good account of themselves in the European Championships just gone drawing with France and Germany, the latter match in Munich.
19:08
Whatever happens tonight of course it will never compare to this game which I believe football fans should pay homage to each time these two teams meet.
19:02
It is an interesting move playing Rice, Foden and Mount tonight and specifically which of the later two plays in central midfield and who behind Kane, or the number eight and ten roles in modern parlance.
18:57
Southgate yesterday said he 'commits a crime' every time he picks an England side. Bit strong, but you get what he means. I don't think they'll be too many complaints today.
18:50
This is the Hungary side looking to replicate the Wembley feats of Ferenc Puskas, Nandor Hidegkuti et al, some 68 years ago next month.
Gulacsi; Kecskes, Szalai, Lang; Nego, A.Nagy, Schafer, Z. Nagy; Schon, Szoboszlai; Sallai.
18:47
This is the side Gareth Southgate has chosen to represent the Three Lions tonight...
