England XI vs Denmark: Southgate set to make one change

If you don’t know by now, England face Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-finals at Wembley on Wednesday night.

The match will be the first time the Three Lions have reached this stage in the Euros since 1996, but will be a second consecutive major tournament last-four appearance after bowing out at this stage at the 2018 World Cup.

Hopes are high heading into the match with Gareth Southgate’s side improving game after game and having yet conceded a goal in the tournament.

England destroyed Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter finals on Saturday in Rome but, with so many options to choose from, it remains to be seen if the same XI take the field.

Reports, including one in The Athletic, suggest that Southgate will make one alteration to his side with Bukayo Saka, who started against Czech Republic and Germany, expected to be restored at the expense of Jadon Sancho.

Saka is expected to get the nod after missing the Ukraine win with a knock.

That, according to various sources, means that clean-sheets king Jordan Pickford will again start in goal behind a back-four of Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.

In midfield will sit the defensive pair of Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips, while Mason Mount will aim to create the buzz and the chances just in front of the duo.

Up top, Raheem Sterling, who has three goals in five matches will join Saka in being the men to feed Harry Kane, who has scored three times in the last two matches after failing to net in the first three.

Wherever you are. Enjoy a historic match at Wembley.
