Is Croatia v England on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Nations League

England will look to build on a strong win in the Czech Republic as they face another tricky away trip in Croatia.

Thomas Tuchel’s side bounced back from a defeat to Spain in their Nations League opener as they produced a professional performance against 10-man opposition on Tuesday.

That 2-0 success leaves them second in Group A3, level on points with their opposition – who will not benefit from their usual home advantage due to crowd restrictions in Rijeka.

Croatia were beaten 4-2 by England at the World Cup and are now back under the management of former West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, who previously oversaw the national team between 2006 and 2012.
