Germany will wear the kit of their women’s national team during tonight’s clash with England.
The UEFA Nations League contest is set to be broadcast live on talkSPORT with coverage coming from Adrian Durham, Jim Proudfoot and Dean Ashton at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

The women’s kit is manufactured by Adidas and was released earlier this year as Germany’s official kit for this summer’s UEFA Women’s Championships.
The competition is set to run from July 6 to July 31 and will be played in various stadiums around England.
As a way to promote the efforts of the German women’s team, the German FA have announced that the men’s team will wear the jersey for the rest of their Nations League fixtures.
Germany aren’t the only nation to promote the efforts of their women’s team, with Belgium and Spain taking a similar approach.
While Hansi Flick’s side will be hoping for a good result on home turf, England will be looking to put in a positive display after receiving criticism to perceived negative tactics, something that Gareth Southgate has taken exception to.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT host Adrian Durham, he said: “Well, we’ve been the highest scorers in Europe over the last year and goals per game, because we obviously ended up playing more games because we made it to the final [of Euro 2020]. But on goals per game I think that only the Dutch scored more.

“I know there always appears to be this narrative that we’re cautious or whatever, but if the measure is scoring goals then we’ve been better than anybody else.
“I just have to accept that that’s part and parcel of sitting in this seat really.
“I think that the bigger thing the other day was the amount of changes perhaps and the need to keep some freshness for the game against Germany as well.
“You have to ride that as a manager. There are certain times where you still pick a team that is good enough to win the game and it is higher risk if you leave some more experienced players out. But what you learn from those games about the other players and about the whole group is still really important for the growth of the team.”
