Lovren relishing rerun of World Cup semi-final with England

The crucial Nations League decider at Wembley is the third meeting between the nations in the space of five months

Dejan Lovren is anticipating a fiery contest between Croatia and England in their Nations League clash on Sunday.

The Liverpool defender, 29, was part of Croatia's squad throughout their remarkable run to the World Cup final, as they eliminated England in the semi-finals in Russia.

Both teams know a win at Wembley will see them top League A's Group Four and advance to the finals of the new competition, and Lovren is relishing the prospect of coming up against the Three Lions in another high-stakes encounter.
