Monday football tips: European champions Italy aiming to confirm Qatar spot

England need only a point from their trip to San Marino to qualify for next year's World Cup finals and they have won their previous seven meetings with the minnows by an aggregate score of 42-1.

Things are less comfortable for European champions Italy, who travel to Northern Ireland knowing that any slip-up could allow Switzerland to top Group C, sending the Azzurri into the playoffs.

Italy and Switzerland have been a cut above their Group C rivals and they can finish their campaigns with wins against Northern Ireland and Bulgaria.
