England

After needing results to go their way to make it to the last 16, Ukraine emerged victorious from a tough match against Sweden, making their numerical advantage count following Marcus Danielson's red card in extra time. Few balls will be struck better than the one Oleksandr Zinchenko hit to open the scoring but it is in defence where Ukraine will need to vastly improve if they are to cause an upset. England pulled off arguably their best performance in a knockout round with an impressive 2-0 win over Germany, with Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane on the scoresheet. The day belonged to Bukayo Saka, who will surely retain his place as part of that attacking troika, though he was withdrawn as a precaution on Tuesday. Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier outflanked their German counterparts as Gareth Southgate looks to have found a winning formula. And while all and sundry are crowing about England's supposed easy route to the final, in some aspects this match poses a bigger challenge than Germany. Euro 2020 has been largely a home tournament for England so far, but they travel to Rome where support will be in short supply. Beat Ukraine and they head back to Wembley for the semis and, a nation hopes, the final. Prediction: England to win ugly
