Australia have already qualified for the Four Nations Final thanks to wins over the Kiwis and England and they will now face the winner of this clash in Hull.

England and the Kiwis have both won one game, against Wales, and victory will see them advance to the Four National Final at Elland Road, Leeds on Saturday November 19.

New Zealand, who are the defending champions, are seen as the 8/11 favourites to win the match with Bet365, while Steve McNamara’s England are available at 5/4 with the draw on offer at 20/1.

England opened up their account with a 42-4 win over Wales at Leigh, before going down 36-20 to Australia at Wembley last weekend.

New Zealand’s opening game ended in a 26-12 defeat at the hands of Australia, but they bounced back with a 36-0 victory over Wales.

Both coaches are refusing to name their teams until just before kick off with England boss McNamara checking on the fitness of James Graham, Gareth Ellis and Jamie Peacock before announcing his team.

Kiwis boss Stephen Kearney has to decide whether or not to bring back Issac Luke or stick with Thomas Leuluai at hooker.

This should be a thrilling game of rugby league and with England been given a four point start on the handicap at 10/11 with Victor Chandler that should be taken seriously. The Kiwis -4 are on offer at the same price with BetFred.

England winger Ryan Hall showed amazing skill and strength at Wembley to score two tries against Australia and the Leeds flyer is 12/1 with Boylesports to grab the opening try. Team-mate Sam Tomkins, who tormented Australia last Saturday, is also in the mix and he can be backed at 10/1 with Bet365.

New Zealand have some great try scores in their ranks with St George Illawarra winger Jason Nightingale on offer at 8/1 with BetFred, while Gerard Beale is just as quick and he can be backed at 11/1 with Victor Chandler.
