England have their Euro 2024 destiny in their hands as they head into their final Group C match against Slovenia in Cologne.
Gareth Southgate’s men have taken four points from their first two games, which is equivalent to a two-point lead at the top of the table.
Qualification for the round of 16 is already guaranteed, while a win would secure England’s top spot and a potentially more favorable round of 16 match.
But the onus is on Southgate and his talent-rich squad to produce the kind of cohesive performance befitting England’s status as one of the pre-tournament favourites, standards that have so far fallen far short in Germany.
Slovenia are also unbeaten in the competition and would go into this match level on points with their opponents, were it not for Luka Jovic’s last-gasp equalizer in the 1-1 draw against Serbia.
England vs Slovenia expected lineups, 11 starters, team news
Trent Alexander-ArnoldEngland’s central midfield deployment has come under fire during England’s disappointing start to the tournament. Southgate himself described the selection as an “experiment” and he may now have run its course.
Conor Gallagher is the favorite to make the team, which would likely mean a tactical adjustment to the 4-3-3 that served England well en route to the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, when Jordan Henderson moved effectively next to Judas Bellingham and Declan Rice.
Chelsea’s Gallagher is an excellent presser and could inject much-needed energy into the English team. Kieran Trippier He is expected to continue at left back despite Luke Shaw‘s return to first team training, although Joe Gomez and Ezri Konsa They are alternatives if the Newcastle United defender’s recent calf problem warrants rest.
England predicted (4-3-3, right to left): Pickford (GK) – Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier – Gallagher, Rice, Bellingham – Saka, Kane, Foden.
Injured: Shaw, Trippier (doubt)
Suspended: None
Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak caused a stir by missing training on Saturday and Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek hopes to have his only genuine world-class player available.
Midfielders Timi Max Elsnik and Adam Gnezda Cerin He suffered knocks during the match against Serbia and faces late checks.
RB Leipzig sensation Benjamin Sesko He is yet to find the net so far in Euro 2024 and must try to spark a change of fortune against an England defense that has been stingy up to this point.
Slovenia predicted (4-4-2, right to left): Oblak (GK) – Karnicnik, Brekalo, Bijol, Janza – Stojanovic, Elsnik, Cerin, Mlakar – Sporar, Sesko.
Injured: Oblak, Elsnik, Cerin (all doubts)
Suspended: None
