The Three Lions enter knockout action at Euro 2024 this evening with a last-16 tie in Gelsenkirchen. England will desperately hope to step things up a notch back at the scene of their opening win over Serbia after consecutive turgid draws with Denmark and Slovenia that did not stop them from topping Group C but led to fierce criticism of both the players and under-fire manager Gareth Southgate, who brings Kobbie Mainoo into his midfield today.
It had looked as if England would likely have to face the Netherlands next, before Georgia’s shock win over Portugal meant it was Slovakia instead.
Francesco Calzona’s side made a fine start in Germany with a shock upset of Group E favourites Belgium, before coming back down to earth somewhat with a loss to Ukraine and draw with Romania that saw them progress as one of the four best third-placed finishers.
England, who have no injury concerns for this game, have never lost to Slovakia in six previous meetings between the two nations, with Switzerland awaiting the winners in a Dusseldorf quarter-final next weekend after stunning Italy. Follow England vs Slovakia live below, with expert analysis from Dan Kilpatrick and Malik Ouzia at Arena AufSchalke.
