England are taking on Slovakia in their first final-16 clash this afternoon, with hopes they can make it through to face Switzerland in the quarter-final. Stay here for all the latest build-up.

Kobbie Mainoo has said he is ready to relish the 'biggest night' of his fledgling career if he starts for England this evening.The Manchester United midfielder came off the bench at half-time in the goalless draw with Slovenia last week.With Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher having already started alongside Declan Rice this tournament, Mainoo looks set to become the third player given the chance to form a partnership with the Arsenal man.

Starting a knockout game for England will be another rung on the ladder for Mainoo.'Yes, probably,' he replied when asked if the Slovakia game would be the biggest of his career.'Do I relish it? Yes, that is what you play football for, the big occasions. You don't win anything big unless you play in the big occasions.'I feel I want to be a great player and great players are made in those big occasions so I have to do my best whenever they come about.
