Euro 2024 is set to launch into action and England kick off their campaign in Group C against Serbia.
The Three Lions head to Germany as Paddy Power’s favourites to win the competition after suffering heartbreak in the final three years ago.
Gareth Southgate has named a bold squad for the tournament. The likes of Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson, Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish have dropped out since the World Cup in Qatar, with a host of exciting younger players stepping up.
It will be fascinating to see how England handle the pressure. After so many near-misses in the Southgate era, it feels like now or never for this team under their current boss.
Serbia, meanwhile, struggled at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and arrive in Germany largely free of expectation.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Serbia vs England is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time on Sunday 16 June, 2024.
The Arena AufSchalke (Veltins-Arena) in Gelsenkirchen will host.
Serbia vs England team news
Aleksandr Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic will lead the line for Serbia against a reasonably untested England defence, with Dusan Tadic pulling the strings.
Luke Shaw will not be fit for the game, though there is hope the Manchester United defender can feature in the group stage after a muscle injury ruled him out of action since February.
Harry Maguire is not in the squad due to a calf problem, while John Stones should be fine despite suffering a scare during the loss to Iceland.
