Interim manager Lee Carsley aims for a Nations League victory against Finland after facing setbacks during his bid to secure the permanent England role. His decision to deploy an attacking yet unbalanced formation led to a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Greece, prompting a likely shift to a more pragmatic strategy in today’s match.

The match between Finland and England is scheduled at the Helsingin Olympiastadion in Helsinki on Sunday, October 13, with kickoff at 7 p.m. EEST local time, which translates to 5 p.m. BST in the UK, 12 p.m. ET in the US, and 3 a.m. AEDT on October 14 in Australia.
