England Set for Slovenia Clash with Last 16 Spot Secured

Trent's Midfield Role Draws Criticism

Slovenia Stick with Unchanged Lineup for Match

England will take on Slovenia in Cologne on Tuesday, already assured of their place in the last 16 of Euro 2024.

The Three Lions sealed their qualification with a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic on Saturday, while Slovenia drew 1-1 with Serbia in their previous match.

England manager Gareth Southgate has faced criticism for deploying Trent Alexander-Arnold as a central midfielder, but the Liverpool defender is expected to keep his place in the team.

Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek has opted to stick with the same lineup that drew with Serbia, meaning Gianluigi Buffon will continue to play in goal despite being 40 years old.
