England v Macedonia. Coverage of the second match this week in England's campaign to qualify for the Euro finals in Portugal. After Saturday's trip to Slovakia all eyes will now be focused on St Mary's Stadium, Southampton. It's the first ever meeting between the two teams and Sven-Goran Eriksson will be anxious to secure full points tonight to keep England on course to win Group Seven and avoid a repeat of their Euro 2000 campaign - where they had to endure a tense two-leg play-off with Scotland. Macedonia's qualifying hopes hit a setback last month when they were held to a 1-1 draw by unheralded Liechtenstein. In today's other matches involving British teams, Wales faced a tough test at the Millennium Stadium as they looked for a win against Italy, the Euro 2000 runners-up, while in Group Six Northern Ireland look for a first-time win over the Ukraine at Windsor Park.
