It will be the 20th meeting between the Three Lions and the Oranje, with the last being at Wembley in February 2012. On that occasion, Arjen Robben’s injury time winner completed a 3-2 victory for the Dutch. 

England’s overall record against the Netherlands stands at five wins, nine draws and five defeats. 

Hodgson’s men completed their European Qualifying campaign in Lithuania earlier this month with a perfect 10, after wrapping up with a 100 per cent record in Group E. However, the Netherlands missed out on a place at the finals in France next summer after finishing fourth in Group A behind the Czech Republic, Iceland and Turkey.
