England and Scotland have already booked their spots at Euro 2024 but there are still plenty of places up for grabs going into the last round of qualifying fixtures.

Wales, who are second in Group D, are heading into a crucial couple of games against Turkey and Armenia and are level on points with third-placed Croatia.

They will qualify if they beat Armenia on Saturday and Croatia lose to Latvia.

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland's hopes of playing at the Euros are over.

A total of 24 sides will compete at next summer's tournament in Germany, with the hosts qualifying automatically.

There are 20 places available via the qualification process, and nine nations have already booked their spots via that route.

The other three places will be decided through play-offs, with the 12 teams taking part in that process determined by their performances in the 2022-23 Nations League.

Some big names could miss out, with Italy still to yet to qualify and Erling Haaland's Norway only being able to qualify via the play-offs. The draw for the tournament is on 2 December.

BBC Sport gives you the lowdown on how qualifying is shaping up and the key fixtures on the horizon.
