England are well-placed at Euro 2024 in Group C and wrap up the first stage of the competition with top spot in their sights against Slovenia on Tuesday night.
Gareth Southgate’s side have slogged their way through 180 minutes of football so far, producing a pair of flat and uninspiring performances. They have, however, been able to secure four points against two awkward opponents and victory in Cologne will see them qualify for the round of 16 as group winners.
The Three Lions are merely a standout sequence or improved performance away from galvanising the nation once more, with the majority of supporters suddenly more pessimistic over their chances in Germany this summer.
Despite being the lowest-ranked nation in Group C, Slovenia aren’t going to roll over on Tuesday night. They’ve picked up two 1-1 draws in their opening two games and were within seconds of securing a well-earned victory over Serbia on Matchday 2 before Luka Jovic struck late on.
A point could be enough to see Slovenia into the next round, while an unlikely and historic victory would guarantee their place in the last 16.
Here is 90min’s guide to England’s final Group C clash on Tuesday night.

Luke Shaw has been involved in training ahead of Tuesday’s game but the left-back isn’t expected to play a part in Cologne. There have also been doubts over Kieran Trippier’s fitness but the Newcastle United full-back is expected to start against Slovenia.
Southgate is set to tinker with the XI that’s started the first two games of Euro 2024. Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to come out of the side in favour of Conor Gallagher.
