England vs Slovakia: Euro 2024 Round of 16 Preview

England will face Slovakia in the Euro 2024 round of 16, with manager Gareth Southgate making only one change to the starting lineup despite criticism for the team's lackluster group stage performances. Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo replaces Conor Gallagher in midfield, while key players like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka retain their spots. Southgate remains confident in his squad and has emphasized the importance of maintaining continuity and confidence. Slovakia, who finished third in their group, will be looking to cause an upset with an unchanged side from their last match against Romania. Despite a lackluster group stage, England remains a strong favorite against Slovakia, a team significantly lower in FIFA rankings. The winner of this match will advance to face Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
