England vs Ukraine team news
England are expected to revert to a back four in Rome.
Southgate will check on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who has a "slight knock", which could open the door to Jadon Sancho to make his first start of the tournament.
Mason Mount is hoping for a recall after returning from isolation and Jack Grealish will be hoping his cameo against Germany will be enough to earn him a start.
Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane’s spots a guaranteed. Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice were again impressive against Germany but both picked up yellow cards, leaving them in danger of missing any semi-final with another booking. Jordan Henderson could come in.
Ukraine striker Artem Besedin has been ruled out of the remainder of the Euros with suspected cruciate ligament damage in his left knee suffered during a wild red-card challenge from Sweden defender Marcus Danielson at Hampden Park on Tuesday.
England vs Ukraine predicted lineups
Ukraine (3-5-2): Bushchan; Zabarnyi, Kryvtsov, Matviyenko; Karavaev, Sydorchuk, Stepanenko, Shaparenko, Zinchenko; Yarmolenko, Yaremchuk
England (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Phillips; Sancho, Mount, Sterling; Kane
England vs Ukraine prediction
England are yet to concede a goal and, one Thomas Muller chance aside which they inflicted upon themselves, have rarely looked like doing so after four games.
Ukraine toiled for a further 30 minutes on Tuesday night, and looked exhausted before that.
England have enough in them to hold their opponents’ at arm’s length and pick them off.
