England already have the tickets for Euro 2016 in their pockets but Friday's match will be very important for Estonia as they can still fight for their chance to reach the playoff from Group E. The two sides have met three times before, England won all of those matches and Estonia never managed to score.
England had an impressive qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 after the disappointing exit at last year's World Cup. They are the only team in the competition to have won all their eight matches. Moreover, the Three Lions are unbeaten in 18 qualifying matches at Wembley, with 15 wins and 3 draws. England have scored 26 goals so far, eleven of them in two matches against San Marino. Wayne Rooney will miss out through injury.
Estonia still have a slight chance of finishing third in the group as they are two points behind Slovenia, who are just below second-placed Switzerland. The last match for Estonia will be at home against Switzerland, so a good result at Wembley could give them a nice chance of pushing for the playoff spot at home. Their task will be tough as they have failed to win any of their last seven away matches and only clinched a draw in the process. Aleksandr Dmitrijev is available again after suspension.
Probable line-ups:
England: Hart - Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Bertrand - Milner, Carrick, Barkley - Sterling, Walcott, Kane
Estonia: Aksalu - Teniste, Jaager, Klavan, Pikk - Lindpere, Mets, Vassiljev - Zanjov, Purje, Kallaste
My prediction: England to win 2-0.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
England win - 1.14 Draw - 9.00 Estonia win - 26.00

I remember this match. I was betting over 2.5 goals, but England managed to score only 2 goals. The statistics were on England side. Ball possession was 61% - 39% and scoring opportunities was 25 - 5 (yes, 25 scoring opportunities for England and they only managed to score 2 times). It was a bit disappointing.

I was wrong about result here, I expected a lot easier win for England and I predicted 5-0, but only 2-0 for England and correct prediction by Johnny and I want to congratulate to him :) Anyway England is first in group with all wins and I think that this is only nation with all wins and that is very impressive.

It was tough to believe that Estonia will have any chance in this one although the game was not so important for England. Just Englanders are a too good team to beat for the class of Estonia. Long time ago since England last strong performance at any huge event so this might be the opportunity for them at next years European...

Just like Johnny predicted, this was easy win for England national team 2-0. First goal scored Walcott late in first half. Assist made Barkley. Sterling scored second goal. England are the only team that have all wins in this qualifications. If they win next game against Lithuania they will finish with all wins and that...

This will be easy match for England, like training. They are already qualified for EURO 2016 and they will try tonight some players who are not played a lot this year but still they will have more quality in their squad than Estonia. We will see a lot of goals tonight at Wembley and my prediction is 5-0 for England.

England's main goal is achieving a perfect qualifying stage without dropping points. They have two easy opponent: Estonia at home and Lithuania at away. In my opinion this is not an unsolvable task for this squad. Yes, they wll be without Rooney but Walcott is in good form while Sterling and Kane are dangerous players...

Yes, they wll be without Rooney but Walcott is in good form while Sterling and Kane are dangerous players as well. 2:0 or 3:0 seems a good choice.

The team of Estonia, has an almost impossible task, despite the England already be classified, the team of Estonia will face the best defense of the championship so far, with only 3 goals, meanwhile Estonia has a bad attack with only 4 goals scored in 8 games, so I think that only a miracle to make Estonia the win today,...
