England Ready for Euro 2024 Challenge

England are set to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign against Serbia on Sunday, entering the tournament as bookies’ favourites to win the competition. The Three Lions, led by manager Gareth Southgate, are aiming to go one step further than their runners-up finish at the last Euros three years ago.

The youthful 26-man England squad, packed with a golden generation of talent, arrived in Germany on Monday night, eager to secure the country’s first-ever European Championship title. However, the squad has not been without its controversies, with the exclusion of big names like Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford raising eyebrows among fans.

Ahead of the opening match, England’s likely starting XI against Serbia features a strong mix of experience and youth. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is set to start in goal, with Manchester City’s Kyle Walker expected to feature in the backline. Despite concerns over the fitness of John Stones, the England defence is expected to be resilient, with the inclusion of Lewis Dunk and Marc Guehi providing depth.

In midfield, the combination of Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, and Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to be a formidable trio, with the Liverpool star expected to influence the game from a central role. Up front, captain Harry Kane and Premier League Player of the Year Phil Foden will lead the line, with Chelsea’s Cole Palmer ready to deputize if Bukayo Saka fails to recover from a recent knock.
