England begin a period of transition as they take on hosts Ireland on Saturday in a UEFA Nations League match at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
After finishing runners-up to Spain in the European Championship in July, manager Gareth Southgate called time on his journey with the national team. Lee Carsley, who guided the England Under-21 team to European Championship title last year, has been appointed the interim coach.
Ireland's last international win came in a friendly against Hungary on June 5.
