After safely navigating the group stage, England's quest for Euro 2024 glory enters the knockout phase when they face Slovakia on Sunday.
The teams convene in Gelsenkirchen with a place in the quarter-finals at stake: either Denmark or the Netherlands will be the winners' next opponents.
We say: England 1-0 Slovakia
Only one of these nations has been involved in a successful European Championship campaign to date - Slovakia lifted the trophy as part of Czechoslovakia in 1976 - but England should keep their dream of a first continental title alive.
Even a Three Lions side lacking both balance and rhythm can get the job done in Gelsenkirchen - though it may be a matter of substance over style.

After taking very different routes through the group stage, Spain and Euro 2024 underdogs Georgia meet for a last-16 contest in Cologne on Sunday evening.
While La Roja strode through as Group B winners with a 100% record, the Georgians stole into the knockout phase with a stunning defeat of Portugal; the unlikely pair now vie for a place in the quarter-finals.
We say: Spain 3-1 Georgia
After experiencing an historic night in Gelsenkirchen, Georgia may be brought back down to earth by a fluent Spain side with the potential to claim Euro 2024 glory.
One of the Georgians' potent front pair may again get their name on the scoresheet, but La Roja look focused on reaching the final and can carve open even the most disciplined defence.
