England are playing host to Albania with a sell-out crowd expected to see Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge of the Three Lions.

RAC Breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson explained: "This weekend's M25 closures could present a 'red card' for drivers heading home from Wembley Stadium on Friday night.

"With junctions 10 to 11 shutting at 9pm, just before the sold-out England game finishes, heavy congestion is almost inevitable for those travelling back to Sussex and Surrey.

Motorists will then need to take the A245 and the A320 before re-joining the motorway at junction 11. Those travelling anti-clockwise will be diverted onto the A320 southbound.

"Plan your route before you set off, leave even earlier than usual and make sure your vehicle is road-ready, checking your oil and coolant levels and ensuring your tyres are properly inflated."
