England will be hoping to kick-off their preparations for the World Cup in Russia positively when they take on Nigeria in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium.

Gareth Southgate's side will face a Nigerian team likely to include many familiar faces to fans of Premier League clubs.

And the Super Eagles' kit is sure to grab plenty of attention as well, having sold 3 million shirts on pre-order alone.

The kit sports a feathered pattern in homage to the Nigerian team which made its World Cup debut in 1994 and, priced at £64.95, it reportedly sold out online within three minutes and there were long queues outside Nike’s flagship store on Oxford Street as well.

This will be just the third ever meeting between the England and Nigeria with their last encounter coming during the 2002 World Cup, when current England manager Southgate was amongst the substitutes to watch both sides settle for a 0-0 draw in the group stages.

Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Chelsea’s Victor Moses are both expected to feature for Nigeria as well as Arsenal's Alex Iwobi.
