England will play Slovakia in the Euro 2024 round of 16 in Gelsenkirchen today.

Gareth Southgate’s side topped Group C despite recording underwhelming draws against Denmark and Slovenia after winning their opener against Serbia.

Phil Foden has returned to the England camp having temporarily left Germany for the birth of his third child, while Luke Shaw has also given Southgate a boost by declaring he will be back from his hamstring injury to play a part in the last-16 tie.

Slovakia were confirmed as England’s opponents upon the conclusion of the group stages on Wednesday night.

Francesco Calzona’s team finished on four points in Group E, where a 1-0 win against Belgium and 2-1 defeat to Ukraine was followed by Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Romania.

Slovakia are 45th in the Fifa world rankings – 40 spots below England. England won 2-1 at Wembley in the last meeting between the sides in September 2017 during qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

The reverse fixture, in September 2016, was a 1-0 England victory in Sam Allardyce’s only game in charge of the national team.

When is England’s next game?

England will play in the last 16 of Euro 2024 today (Sunday, June 3) with kick-off at 5pm UK time.

Where is England’s next game being played?

The match will be played today in Gelsenkirchen at the Arena AufSchalke, which is home to Bundesliga 2 club Schalke. England have already played at this stadium in the Euros, beating Serbia 1-0 in the opening game.

What TV channel is it on?

It will be broadcast live on ITV1 with coverage starting at 3.30pm. Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Karen Carney are among ITV’s pundits for the tournament.

What sort of team are Slovakia?

Slovakia made it to the knockout stages as one of the four best third-placed sides. They finished behind Romania and Belgium in Group E, where all teams finished on four points.

Slovakia’s first-choice goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will be well known to England’s Anthony Gordon, who is pushing for a start in Gelsenkirchen.

Slovakia have never beaten England in six attempts, with five losses and one draw.
