Expectations from England supporters have sky-rocketed since Tuesday’s last-16 victory over Germany and Gareth Southgate’s side are now fully expected to reach the final, at least, given they are on what looks the much easier side of the draw.
Quarter-final opponents could have come more difficult than Ukraine, who are the 33/1 outsiders of the remaining sides in the tournament.
Andriy Shevchenko’s side deserve major credit for battling back after having a man sent off against Sweden but they are going to need an awful lot more if they are to wreck England’s hopes of going all the way.
Southgate doesn’t like to make changes for changes sake but England put a lot into Tuesday’s game and they have four players on bookings. That could see some rotation in the forward areas but it's not as if they are short of options and whoever starts this game should be good enough to help England progress.

One player certain to start is Manchester United captain Harry Maguire who posted a man-of-the-match performance at Wembley.
Maguire looked a real threat from set-pieces and although he failed to find the net, the central defender has decent prospects of emulating his set-piece header against Sweden in the last World Cup.
Maguire is 16/1 to find the net first and 7/1 to do so at any time with Grosvenor Sport which rates quite an appealing play given Ukraine haven’t exactly looked watertight from set-pieces so far in this tournament.
If you are looking for something a bit less speculative, England to win to nil looks a big runner given how solid the Three Lions have been so far. It’s a 10/11 chance with Grosvenor Sport.
