PREVIEW: England vs Croatia

Just four days to go until England play in the long awaited Euro 2020 against the side that knocked the Three Lions out of the 2018 World Cup, Croatia.


The game is on Sunday 2pm at Wembley Stadium and will be broadcast live on ITV, like every England game at the Euros.


England are coming off the back of two 1-0 victory's at the Riverside in Middlesbrough against Austria and Romania.


The Three Lions have played against Croatia ten times in the past, winning five, drawing two and losing three.


Jesse Lingard and Harry Kane scored the last time England faced Croatia in 2018 in a 2-1 win in the UEFA Nations League.


Croatia did not have a great pre-tournament with a 1-1 draw against Armenia and a loss against Belgium.


They do have a talented side with Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic and Mateo Kovacic the standouts but also some young talents in Josko Gvardiol and Nikola Vlasic.


England have not had the Manchester City or Chelsea players available in the friendlies so Gareth Southgate will have those players available.


A 2-1 victory for England is how we see it with Harry Kane getting off the mark and Jack Grealish showing what he can do on the big stage.


England could line up like this:
