This is the Three Lions’ second consecutive Euro final having made the final at Euro 2020, where they eventually lost on penalties to Roberto Mancini's Italy.

Spain however, won the competition three times in 1964, 2008 and 2012 respectively. Despite stereotypically Spain playing tiki-taka football, this Spanish side uses the pace of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams on the wings in a much more aggressive fashion – however, they still maintain their elegance in midfield with Rodri, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo.

Gareth Southgate has a dilemma upfront: does he go with his captain Harry Kane or does he pick the player that got them to the final in Ollie Watkins?

You can’t deny that since the England boss decided to play a back three against Switzerland, England have looked more balanced both in attack and in defence.

Kick-off in the German capital is at 8pm on Sunday.

Spain Predicted XI:

Unai Simon, Marc Cucurella, Aymeric Laporte, Robin Le Normand, Dani Carvajal, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Alvaro Morata, Lamine Yamal.

England Predicted XI:

Jordan Pickford, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Marc Guehi, Kyle Walker, Bukayo Saka, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane.
