Luke Shaw has emerged as a key component in this England side and his two assists in Rome were no less than the Manchester United man deserves, adding to his assist against Germany and a star turn against Czech Republic. The Three Lions will need to be similarly switched on against Denmark next as the Scandinavians promise to be a different proposition entirely. The Three Lions build off of the win over Germany and cruise into the last four thanks to a Harry Kane double.Ukraine spent the majority of the first half getting back into the contest only to lose it at the very start of the second with England twice striking early to take the sting out of their opponents.Īlthough it is far from an exact science, scoring so early is important for this English side as it settles any nerves and forces the opposition to take the game to Southgate's men, a tactical situation in which they thrive. When it comes to England's XI, expect Jack Grealish to start after changing the game against Germany when he came off the bench. Expect England to be very cautious when it comes to Oleksandr Zinchenko, with the Manchester City defender having a fine tournament and getting forward often. But don't overlook Ukraine, because they have the players to cause some trouble. and it may just be coming home if they can get back to Wembley for the semifinals. Dovbyk will have the chance to be the hero again here.Įngland: The defense has been staunch throughout but it's the attack came to life against Germany with two goals late in the match. Ukraine looked gassed late in that match, especially Andriy Yarmolenko, and those heavy legs will probably carry over here.

So who will step up in attack as they'll likely need multiple goals to win and avoid penalty kicks? Well, super sub Artem Dovbyk has earned the start after his dramatic winner, and he may be counted on. Ukraine: The defense has conceded in four straight matches, and it will be unlikely that they keep England out here.
