England vs Slovenia EURO 2024 Group C Matchday 3 preview: Where to watch, kick-off time, possible line-ups

After a narrow opening victory over Serbia, England were unconvincing against Denmark and could perhaps be considered fortunate to have escaped Frankfurt with a point. Nevertheless, Gareth Southgate's side are now certain of progress to the round of 16 as at least a best third-place team, and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has called for calm, telling EURO2024.com: "We could have done better in the game [against Denmark], but we're still top of the group, it's still in our hands, so there's no worry and no panic."

The Three Lions will face a tough test against Slovenia, though, who are unbeaten in their last eight matches including friendlies, and have drawn both their games so far this tournament against Denmark and Serbia. They were only denied victory over the latter by a 95th-minute equaliser from Luka Jović. Coach Matjaž Kek sounded confident about the England assignment, saying: "They are clear favourites, but so were the Danes and the Serbs." It should be a fascinating match-up in Cologne.
