FEDERAL COACH: Joachim Löw is likely to celebrate his 100th victory as national coach this year. In the 143 games as head coach so far there have been 95 wins, 25 draws and 23 defeats. Sepp Herberger alone, the world champion coach from 1954, has played more games with the national team than Löw (167 games).

ENGLAND: The record against the 1966 world champion is negative. Germany was able to win twelve of 34 comparisons. However, 16 games were lost. Only six times there was no winner. The last duel was almost a year ago: on March 26, 2016 there was a 2:3 defeat in Berlin. Toni Kroos and Mario Gomez gave the DFB team a 2-0 lead in the test at the Olympic Stadium. Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier turned the game around in the second half in favor of the English team, then coached by Roy Hodgson.

FAREWELL: Lukas Podolski is to wear the national jersey for the last time in the Dortmund Arena. The 31-year-old world champion has scored 48 goals in 129 games so far. Only Lothar Matthäus (150) and Miroslav Klose (137) have played more international matches than Podolski.

SQUAD: Timo Werner from Bundesliga promoted RB Leipzig is the only outfield player without an international cap in the 24-man DFB squad. The 21-year-old could be the 87th debutant under national coach Löw. Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who was nominated for the ailing captain Manuel Neuer, is still waiting for his debut. World champion Toni Kroos from Real Madrid could play his 75th international match in the classic against England.
