England will head to Germany amongst the favourites to lift the trophy after suffering penalty shootout heartbreak during Euro 2020 at Wembley.

A squad filled with some of the most exciting talents in European football will try and put an end to England’s near 60-year wait for a major trophy in the men’s game.

The experts have had their say on whether Southgate and Co can get over the line this time with big names such as Laura Woods, Roy Keane and Gary Neville making their predictions.

Here SunSport breaks down what they all said to ITV about the highly anticipated tournament ahead of this evening’s warm up game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
