England Prepare for Crunch Euro 2024 Last-16 Clash Against Slovakia

England’s national football team led by manager Gareth Southgate are gearing up for an important last-16 clash in Euro 2024 against Slovakia. The match is set to take place in Gelsenkirchen, where England previously secured their only tournament victory.

Despite a rather lacklustre performance in the group stages, including a win against Serbia and draws with Denmark and Slovenia, there is a sense of urgency for England to elevate their game as they face Slovakia.

With uncertainty surrounding the fitness of left-back Luke Shaw, the English side is looking for a suitable balance in defense. Midfield contention includes Kobbie Mainoo, who impressed in the match against Slovenia, potentially earning a starting spot alongside Declan Rice.

Star player Phil Foden briefly left the camp for personal reasons but has returned to Germany, adding depth to the squad. Options to bolster the attack include the likes of Eberechi Eze or Anthony Gordon, with the latter potentially matching Bukayo Saka‘s pace on the wing.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 5pm BST at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, the chosen venue for this pivotal Euro 2024 fixture. Viewers can catch the action live on ITV1 or stream it online through the ITVX platform and app.
