England vs Switzerland live: Latest news and build-up to Euro 2024 quarter-final
Hello, it's morning and England will be playing against Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-final match in six hours. The team that wins will play against either the Netherlands or Turkey in the semi-finals.
We will provide you with the most up-to-date information and updates about the game in Germany as fans gather at the Düsseldorf Arena.
England may choose to play with three defenders instead of four, as Marc Guehi is suspended for the upcoming match. Previously, they had been using a formation with four defenders while playing in Germany.
While Gareth Southgate is no stranger to using a back three, it is less common for him to switch formations in the middle of a tournament.
The upcoming game will be the 100th time the 53-year-old has led the senior national team and his 24th game as the England manager in a major tournament - more than any other manager in history.
The milestone has arrived amidst a wave of strong disapproval for England's games in Germany, but defender Kieran Trippier thinks that Southgate's efforts have not been acknowledged enough.
Trippier praised Southgate's achievements since he became the manager. He mentioned that Southgate has won more knockout matches than all other managers since 1966 put together.
"When I got here, we had a lot of discussions about the importance of representing England and he really emphasized that sense of unity within the team from the beginning of his leadership until now."
You have observed the progress he has made. I believe his contributions to the England team have been truly outstanding.
Everyone has the right to their own point of view, but I believe Gareth truly understands, not just from me, but from all the players, how highly we think of him. He is an incredible individual and someone that every single member of this group holds in high regard.
Today's game marks the fourth time England and Switzerland will face off in a major tournament, with this being their third encounter at the European Championship. Switzerland has never been able to win a quarter-final match in a major tournament, losing in all of their previous four attempts.
