England are one of the favourites for the European Championship and it will be fascinating to see if they can finally deliver in what is expected to be Southgate’s final tournament.

England vs Iceland team news
Southgate has already confirmed Ivan Toney will feature, although in what kind of capacity remains to be seen. With Harry Kane finishing the season at Bayern Munich carrying a slight back injury, Southgate’s priority is getting his captain up to speed.

England vs Iceland prediction
Results are clearly not the most important thing in the world in these games and England could be forgiven for not risking any injuries but it would be a surprise not to see them win.
