New Delhi: The runners-up of the 2020 UEFA Euro Championship, England will look to end their long wait for an international trophy as they take on Switzerland in a high-octane quarterfinal game.
The three Lions have had a dismal outing so far with no convincing wins. England’s hopes for a Euro redemption would have ended in the Round of 16 itself hadn’t Jude Bellingham hit that magical goal. Now, with the potential ticket to finals, England needs to wake up from their daydreams.
On the other hand, Switzerland will be entering the match on the back of a thumping victory against Italy. Murat Yakin’s men have not put any foot wrong in this year’s Euro. The Swiss team had already pulled off an upset in the Round of 16 when they trounced Italy. Can they pull off another heist against the Three Lions?
England vs Switzerland: Predicted lineup
Switzerland
The Swiss team have a full squad available for this mouthwatering quarterfinal. Head coach Murat Yakin will not be looking to change the starting XI.
Probable XI: Sommer, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez, Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Aebischer, Ndoye, Vargas, Embolo.
England
The three Lions seem to be in a tough situation with the first-choice centre-back, Marc Guehi sustaining an injury in the game against Slovakia. Therefore, Gareth Southgate will have to tinker with the lineup. In place of Guehi, Aston Villa’s centre-back, Ezri Konsa will look to get his maiden Euro start.
Probable XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Konsa, Trippier, Rice, Mainoo, Saka, Foden, Bellingham, Kane.
