England XI vs Slovakia XI
Gareth Southgate has defied calls for wholesale changes to his England team for Sunday’s Euro 2024 knockout round-of-16 clash with Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen. Only one alteration is anticipated: Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo should start after making a brief cameo against Slovenia; Mainoo will replace Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher who has been dropped.
England star striker Harry Kane has also been included in Southgate’s squad. Since joining his side in 2015, Kane has been outstanding and is England’s all-time goal scorer with 64 goals from 94 matches played under Southgate as manager. He wears the armband as captain.
The Three Lions finished Group C undefeated after scoring wins against Serbia and Denmark and draws with Finland and Slovenia. Slovakia will present formidable opponents, so it is critical that England perform well against them or face early elimination from this tournament.
English players have enjoyed success against Slovakia in recent times. Over five encounters across all competitions, England have won four out of the five matches they’ve faced each other – most recently during Euro 2016 qualifying round 1, England secured their place by defeating Slovakia 1-0 at Wembley Stadium to advance.
