The story so far

England beat the Czech Republic 3-1 thanks to goals from Harvey Elliott, Jonathan Rowe and Charlie Cresswell.

Slovenia were beaten 3-0 by Germany, with Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade – who played with the big boys in the recent Nations League – scoring a hat-trick.

Preamble

And so to Nitra, where the holders England played Slovenia in their second group game of the European Under-21 Championship. A hard-fought victory over the Czech Republic means Lee Carsley’s side will almost certainly qualify for the quarter-finals if they win again today.

Fail and it will come to the last group game against Germany. But the likeliest scenario, certainly the ideal one for England, is that the only thing at stake in that game will be who finishes top of the group.

Kick off 5pm.
