England face a tricky clash in Rome against unfancied Ukraine in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
This is England's biggest game since their last game in their quest to end the years of hurt and bring major international silverware back to British soil.
The Three Lions have been dealt an unusually favourable half of the draw in the knockout rounds having dumped out their greatest footballing nemesis, Germany, in the Round of 16.
Gareth Southgate's men know they are just 90 minutes away from back-to-back semi-finals in major competitions but tricky Ukraine stand between them and the final four.
Ukraine have grown into this tournament after qualifying from Group C in third place. They toppled Sweden in the 121st minute in the last round to spark delirium among fans in the stands.
The victors in Rome will take on the winner of Czech Republic v Denmark in the semi-finals – but who will turn up on the day, show their class and make themselves a hero?

Ukraine v England team news
Ukraine: Artem Besedin may not be fit to feature here after suffering a horrendous tackle on Tuesday that saw Sweden’s Marcus Danielson sent off.
Ukraine should again line up in a 3-5-2 formation, where wing-backs Oleksandr Karavayev and Oleksandr Zinchenko drop back to help the defence. Yarmolenko should start up front with Yaremchuk.
England: No fresh injuries or suspensions has England looking good heading into Saturday’s game. Southgate could opt to rest one of Rice or Phillips and bring Jordan Henderson back into the XI, while Raheem Sterling is all-but assured to start up top again alongside Harry Kane.
Whether Jack Grealish starts from the off in place of Bukayo Saka remains to be seen but there is a clamour for the Aston Villa playmaker to get the nod. Southgate could also look at Mason Mount or Phil Foden to bolster his attacking arsenal, while Jadon Sancho has earned just six minutes of game time so far this tournament.

Our prediction: Ukraine v England
England are defending as a solid unit right now and that is aided by the cover Phillips and Rice bring. However, Southgate may sense this is the time to bring Foden or Mount back in, rest one of his midfield starters, and look to be more attack-minded.
If this does happen Grealish will be hoping his performance off the bench against Germany earns him the nod. Yet regardless of how Southgate lines up, England are firm favourites in Rome.
Ukraine pose a threat in the likes of Zinchenko and Yarmolenko but defensively they could struggle to match England’s firepower. It may be a slow, steady game but the Three Lions should get the job done.
Our prediction: Ukraine 0-2 England (11/2 at bet365)
