Naturally, the Young Lions boast a drastically changed squad to the ones that failed to advance from the group stages in the last two editions of the tournament.

Boss Lee Carsley will hope some of his seasoned Premier League stars will step up to the plate to gain invaluable international tournament experience.

Several U21 stars have already been drafted into the senior squad, none more prominent than Real Madrid's new £115m prodigious talent Jude Bellingham, who has cemented his place in Gareth Southgate's side.

Fans across England will be keen to see how the next generation of stars stack up in the tournament with the senior Euro 2024 around the corner.
