Another international tournament, another quarterfinal for England. Gareth Southgate’s team may not have been at their best but held their grip during the tournament. But they will have a completely different test against Switzerland in the quarterfinal of Euro 2024. The Swiss have been unfazed by any opposition and knocked the holding champions out with dominance in their previous game. But more importantly, the belief of the outfit was evident through Granit Xhaka’s statement that declared Italians were scared of them. Nonetheless, can it continue against the Three Lions who are under pressure already?

On the other hand, Switzerland was speculated to have a slight glitch in their squad. And for England, there are a few points of discussion on how they could turn up in the round of 8. With important updates regarding the intriguing contest, let’s take a look at what to expect from the clash.

Euro 2024, England vs Switzerland: All you need to know

Team and injury news

England: Southgate has been under heavy scrutiny for his management of resources. However, the team had some additional problems with injuries coming into the tournament, which seems to have settled now. Luke Shaw was added to the squad despite not having any game time since February 18 due to a hamstring injury and is now ready for selection, according to Jordan Pickford. But whether he would start remains to be doubtful. Meanwhile, key defender John Stones also deemed himself well after being seen with a strapping around his right knee.

Kieran Trippier, who already has a calf issue, also suffered a knee problem and was taken off against Slovakia. However, the Englishman revealed that it was the manager’s decision rather than a scare, and could start tomorrow. But the biggest update for the Three Lions is that one of their most consistent players in the competition, Marc Guehi, is suspended and will miss the clash. Guehi took his second yellow of the competition in the third minute against Slovakia. Ezri Konsa is expected to take his place.

Switzerland: Murat Yakin’s team only had one scare after Xhaka was seen suffering from an adductor issue against Italy. However, the Swiss captain is fine and will start against Harry Kane and Co., according to reports.

Expected Lineups

England XI: Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, Ezri Konsa, John Stones; Kieran Trippier; Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo; Jude Bellingham; Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka; Harry Kane.

Switzerland XI: Yann Sommer, Fabian Schar, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez; Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka, Michel Aebischer, Dan Ndoye, Fabian Rieder; Ruben Vargas, Breel Embolo.

Head-to-head and prediction

England has a clear historical advantage over Switzerland in the 27 games they met earlier. They won 18 games and lost just three with 6 ending in a draw. But tomorrow’s game could be an entirely different ballpark considering the two sides’ form. Nevertheless, England is still the favorite and is expected to win by a narrow margin.

Prediction: England 2-1 Switzerland
