I wish I hadn't realised this as I've made tonight into a bit of a nail biter for myself.

Question is, will Page be bold tonight?

Kieffer Moore has to start Shirley.
The play-off spots go to the two highest ranked Nations League Group winners

I think if we win the group, given where we are in the current FIFA rankings we would be fifth ranked of all the winners.

It would need two of the four group winners in the A league, France, Spain and currently Italy and Belgium, not to win their World Cup Qualifying groups to deny us that play off spot (if we don't get one as runners up in our World Cup Qualification group).
