Football fans are arriving at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf as England prepares to take on Switzerland in the quarter-final of Euro 20204.

The match marks Gareth Southgate’s 100th game as manager, and could mark a change in tactics for England, who have so far struggled to make an impact in the tournament.

Jude Bellingham is still expected to play after being handed a fine and suspended match ban over a hand gesture made in a previous game.

Predictions suggest the manager could use a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game, with Saka, Alexander-Arnold, Stones, and Bellingham all expected to start.

Sommer, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez, Widmer, and Freuler are predicted for Switzerland’s starting line-up.

Germany were last night knocked out of the tournament by Spain following a 2-1 defeat.

Kick-off is at 17:00 (BST) and the game will be broadcast on BBC One.
