England will look to maintain the only 100% record in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying as Estonia bid to keep on battling for a place in next summer's finals. • England's presence in the 12 December draw for the final tournament is already guaranteed; they are certain to finish top of Group E. • Fourth-placed Estonia can still qualify, but they are five points adrift of Switzerland in second – their final Group E opponents, in Tallinn on 12 October – and two points behind Slovenia in the play-off slot. Previous meetings • Wayne Rooney scored the free-kick winner on his 99th international outing when England beat Estonia 1-0 earlier in Group E; Estonia's Ragnar Klavan, also appearing for the 99th time, was sent off in that game last October. • Captain Rooney – who struck his 50th international goal in England's last match, versus the Swiss on 8 September – doubled the lead against Estonia in an October 2007 EURO qualifier (3-0). • All three of the nations' previous meetings have ended in England victories, with Estonia yet to find the net. Form guide • England are the only team to have won all eight of their UEFA EURO 2016 qualifers; they were the first side – apart from hosts France – to confirm their place in next summer's finals. • England are unbeaten in 18 home qualifiers (W15 D3) since a 3-2 loss to Croatia in November 2007. • Estonia are without a win in their last seven competitive away matches (D1 L6) – and are without a goal in their most recent five away qualifiers, comprising four defeats and a 0-0 draw in San Marino. Disciplinary • James Milner and Raheem Sterling are within a booking of a ban. • Aleksandr Dmitrijev is available after a one-game ban; Karol Mets and Sergei Zenjov will incur suspensions with their next yellow cards. Trivia and links • England have won all four of their UEFA age-group competition meetings with Estonia, scoring 18 goals without reply. • The only encounters between the nations' clubs in UEFA competition came in the first round of the 2006/07 UEFA Cup, when Newcastle United beat Levadia Tallinn 1-0 in Estonia and then 2-1 at home.

5 England - Estonia Friday 9 October 2015 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Wembley Stadium, London Head coach Roy Hodgson Date of birth: 9 August 1947 Nationality: English Playing career: Crystal Palace FC, Tonbridge Angels FC, Gravesend and Northfleet FC, Maidstone United FC, Berea Park FC Coaching career: Halmstads BK, Bristol City FC, IK Oddevold, Örebro SK, Malmö FF, Neuchâtel Xamax FC, Switzerland, FC Internazionale Milano (twice), Blackburn Rovers FC, Grasshopper Club, FC København, Udinese Calcio, United Arab Emirates, Viking FK, Finland, Fulham FC, Liverpool FC, West Bromwich Albion FC, England • After he spent most of his playing days in the English non-league system, Hodgson's coaching career spanning eight countries began with Halmstad. He guided the Swedish club to their first-ever titles in 1976 and 1979; then guided Malmö to top of the table for five years in a row, although the play-off system then used meant they were champions only twice in that time. • A period at Xamax followed before the first of four forays into international management. Hodgson's Switzerland qualified for the 1994 FIFA World Cup – their first in 28 years – and then EURO '96 but the coach departed for Inter before the latter tournament. • After taking the Nerazzurri to the 1997 UEFA Cup final, Hodgson had spells in England, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, the UAE, Norway and Finland, as well as a short stint back at Inter as technical director. • He returned to England and relegation-threatened Fulham in 2007/08, helping them to safety in his first term, a club- best seventh in the Premier League in his second and then the 2010 UEFA Europa League final. The 2-1 extra-time defeat by Club Atlético de Madrid proved his last game with the Cottagers, before he accepted the reins at Liverpool. • He left Anfield after 31 matches in charge, the shortest reign in Liverpool history, yet within five weeks was at West Brom, whom he steered to a then Premier League high of 11th. He was appointed England manager on 1 May 2012 and took them to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 World Cup, where they failed to get out of the group stage. Magnus Pehrsson Date of birth: 25 May 1976 Nationality: Swedish Playing career: IF Brommapojkarna, Djurgårdens IF (twice), Bradford City AFC (loan), IFK Göteborg Coaching career: Åtvidabergs FF, IK Sirius, GAIS Göteborg, Aalborg BK, Djurgårdens IF, Estonia • A midfielder who made his name with Djurgården, Pehrsson lifted the Swedish title with the Stockholm club in 2002 yet was forced to end his career in 2003 after suffering serious injury. • Despite his young age Pehrsson learned the coaching ropes at Åtvidaberg before a move to Sirius in 2006; tasted life in Sweden's top tier when he joined GAIS in 2008. • After a season in the Allsvenskan he went to Denmark with AaB in January 2009, guiding the side to a seventh- placed finish in his first term. The club came two places higher the following campaign, yet Pehrsson departed the helm in October 2010. • Returned to Sweden to take charge of former team Djurgården in May 2011, helping them avoid relegation in his first season before steering them to a ninth-placed finish in the 2012 campaign. • Resigned as Djurgården boss in April 2013 and appointed Estonia's national team coach in December that year.

EURO finals: The UEFA European Championship was a four-team event in 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 (when the preliminary round and quarter-finals were considered part of qualifying).

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
