England's World Cup preparations kick up a gear tonight when they host Peru at Wembley Stadium. The first of three warm-up friendlies prior to taking on Italy on June 14, it also serves as the team's send-off from home shores.
Roy Hodgson and his squad then head off to Miami next week, where they will face Ecuador and then Honduras at the Sun Life Stadium.
For Peru, it is a chance for manager Pablo Bengoechea to begin the process of ensuring his own team are at the next World Cup. They missed out on the chance to play in Brazil 2014 after finishing third bottom of the South American qualifying group and will try out some new blood tonight.
Kick-off at Wembley is 8 p.m. UK time, with live text commentary throughout the game right here. Check back an hour before then for team news and all the buildup.
