Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions go up against an emboldened Danish side for the right to contest the final
England lock horns with Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday evening in the semi-final of Euro 2020, with the two sides looking to join Italy in the final.
The Three Lions have yet to concede a goal at the tournament, beating Germany and Ukraine in the knockout stage thus far, but will remain wary of a galvanised Denmark team.
One-time European Championship winners, the Danes have had to endure the trauma of Christian Eriksen’s on-pitch cardiac arrest, but still managed to cruise into the semi-finals.

Team news & squads
| Position | England players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Pickford, Ramsdale, Johnstone |
| Defenders | Walker, Shaw, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Mings, Coady, Chilwell, White, James |
| Midfielders | Rice, Grealish, Henderson, Phillips, Mount, Foden, Saka, Bellingham |
| Forwards | Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Calvert-Lewin |
Bukayo Saka is expected to return to the England team at the expense of Jadon Sancho after recovering from the knock which prevented his involvement in the quarter-final.
Gareth Southgate may make some tactical changes, but is unlikely to tinker too much in terms of personnel, with Harry Kane set to lead the line with Raheem Sterling in support.
That means Jack Grealish is likely to have to accept a role from the substitutes’ bench.
Predicted England starting XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Phillips, Rice, Mount, Saka, Sterling; Kane.
| Position | Denmark squad |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Schmeichel, Lossl, Ronnow |
| Defenders | Christensen, Andersen, Vestergaard, Kjaer, Maehle, Jorgensen, Stryger Larsen, Boilesen |
| Midfielders | Skov, Delaney, Norgaard, Wass, Hojbjerg, Jensen, Christiansen |
| Forwards | Dolberg, Braithwaite, Skov Olsen, Damsgaard, Wind, Poulsen, Cornelius |
Denmark are of course without their talisman Christian Eriksen, but the Inter playmaker is now out of hospital as he continues his recovery.
Head coach Kasper Hjulmand is not expected to change his starting team much, if at all, with Kasper Schmeichel, Simon Kjaer and Kasper Dolberg all expected to start.
Predicted Denmark starting XI: Schmeichel; Christensen, Kjaer, Vestergaard; Stryger Larsen, Delaney, Hojbjerg, Maehle; Damsgaard, Braithwaite, Dolberg.
England are 8/11 favourites to win against Denmark in the semi-final of Euro 2020.
Denmark are priced at 17/4 to pull off an upset and book their place in the final.
