The Three Lions will be looking to secure qualification to the knockouts
Day seven of Euro 2024 will see three matches including two huge heavyweight showdowns as England play Denmark and Italy play Spain.
England will play their second match of the tournament facing off with Denmark in what could potentially be their hardest group game match.
Denmark, previous winners of the competition have many familiar faces in their squad including two Manchester United players, Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund, and will be no pushover for Gareth Southgate’s men.
Southgate confirmed yesterday that England will be playing an unchanged starting eleven with Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to midfield and Luke Shaw still side-lined by fitness woes.
Denmark come into the game after drawing 1-1 with Slovenia and will be keen to boost their qualification hopes with a good result against England.
Meanwhile, England will be looking to confirm qualification into the knockout rounds after an uninspiring 1-0 against Serbia put The Three Lions in the driving seat in group C.
Any kind of points from the game will almost guarantee a fourth match for England.
England kick-off versus Denmark at 5pm on BBC One.
