Here come the two teams!

The pitch has been heavily watered, the light show has finished, now it’s time for some football.

Raheem Sterling and Serge Aurier lead their respective sides out to the first roar of the night, and line up for the national anthems.

It may be a friendly, but for this much changed England side, the next 90 minutes represent an opportunity to make their mark on the international stage at the start of a World Cup year.

Ivory Coast become the 85th different country that England have faced in their history, and it looks set to be another intriguing test.

Kick-off is moments away.
