England ended up topping Group C, but you won’t find many people who found any of their performances particularly convincing. Gareth Southgate still hasn’t found a starting XI that feels balanced, although Kobbie Mainoo’s second-half performance in the last game against Slovenia should certainly have given the England boss cause to consider starting the 19-year-old in his midfield.

Slovakia were part of a Group E that finished with all four teams on four points – a first for the European Championships – which meant they advanced to the knockouts as one of the best third-placed teams. Slovakia have never beaten England before, with their best result coming in a goalless draw during the group stage of Euro 2016 in France. Can they make history here on Sunday?
