England's men complete their Nations League fixtures this month while there is another Wembley test for the women.
Lee Carsley heads into his final international window with the senior team, the uncertainty surrounding October's fixtures at least having now settled, following confirmation that Thomas Tuchel will take charge from the start of 2025.
The away fixture with Greece on Thursday 14th gives England a chance to reverse their Wembley defeat and overhaul the home side at the top of their Nations League group, in doing so avoiding a play-off fixture at the start of Tuchel's reign.
Carsley then ends his time in charge against the opponents he began with, the Republic of Ireland, that smooth victory in Dublin seeming a long time ago given the positive headlines it generated about the new manager and the manner of England's performance.
England's women also endured a mixed October set of fixtures, saving face with a fightback in defeat against Germany before the win against South Africa in Coventry.
Sarina Wiegman's preparation for Euro 2025 continue with what remains the ultimate test, a game against Emma Hayes' USA side at Wembley on Saturday 30th.
