Jude Bellingham scored, Harry Kane scored and England are two points clear at the top of the table heading into their final Euro 2024 Group C match on Tuesday, June 25 against Slovenia.
A total of four points means they are through to the round of 16 no matter what happens in Cologne. So far, so good for Gareth Southgate’s team, right? Well not exactly.
After Bellingham and Kane, each having superb seasons for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively, gave England early leads against Serbia and Denmark, the Three Lions’ performances faltered.
They held on to beat Serbia 1-0, but were arguably lucky to escape with a 1-1 draw against Denmark.
Slovenia shared the same score with the Scandinavian national team and would enter this contest tied on points with England, if not for Luka Jovic’s last-gasp equalizer when they played against Serbia in Munich.

England vs Slovenia team lineups and 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 join the squad, 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, where Jordan Henderson moved in effective along with 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.
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.
England vs Slovenia Prediction
- Score prediction: England 3-0 Slovenia
Given the talent at his disposal, Southgate will surely not be able to oversee another overwhelmingly severe display. Stars like Kane and Rice have spoken about how recent criticism has affected players.
Slovenia could be on the receiving end of a response, as a simplified England line-up with Gallagher in place of Alexander-Arnold promises more effective pressing and dangerous players such as Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden will occupy impactful attacking positions more often.
