For the second time in as many months, England head into a World Cup qualifying fixture with a new manager at the helm. The Football Association is going to take its time over appointing a successor to Sam Allardyce, spending a portion of this season talking to experts and combing them for advice; in the meantime, Gareth Southgate will step up from under-21 duty to lead his nation. He’s a rather divisive choice.

A struggling Argentina team needs to rebound in style against Peru in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Nacional in Lima on Friday, with the away side coming off a 2-2 draw in Venezuela last time out. In particular, the onus will be on a defence pushed around too easily during the four-goal stalemate. A hard-working Peru squad loaded with tenacity and quality lie in wait, and the visitors’ midfield may need a more direct approach.
