      England vs Ukraine: Three Lions look to build on gruelling Italy win in tasty Euro 2024 qualifier – stream FREE, TV

      by

      IT was the perfect night for England as they opened their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a monumental win over Italy – and captain Harry Kane wrote his name in the history books.Kane’s calmness from the penalty spot earned England all three points against the Italians.

      And it also saw the skipper become the Three Lions’ all-time top goal scorer having leapfrogged Wayne Rooney in the charts.
      However, Luke Shaw’s two yellow cards in 54 seconds was a slight blemish on an iconic win in Naples
      Gareth Southgate will be confident that his side is still more than capable of beating upcoming opponents, Ukraine.
      However Ruslan Rotan’s side are on a good run of form having lost just one of their last six matches.
      Read more on England
      They have players with a lot of Premier League know-how too, including £97million Chelsea star Mykhalo Mudyrk.
      Ukraine are captained by Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, who may be one of the few players in world football capable of keeping his team-mate Bukayo Saka quiet.
      Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko provides Prem experience on Ukraine’s other flank, and he will need to be at his best to stop the likes of Kane, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden.
      This will be their first match in England since the Russian invasion last year and 1,000 refugees have been given free tickets.
      Most read in Football
      An estimated 3,000 more Ukrainians will pack out the away end at Wembley and Rotan is keen for his players’ performance to offer hope to those suffering back home.
      How are Ukraine getting on?
      Ukraine have lost just one match since their World Cup play-off defeat to Wales last June.
      However that came against Scotland in a 3-0 scoreline, while Ukraine have beat Armenia twice and the Republic of Ireland since missing out on Qatar.
      They have not played since September when they drew 0-0 with Scotland so there could be some rustiness to shake off.

      What is the team news?
      Gareth Southgate will be without Luke Shaw as the full-back is set to serve a suspension following his red card against Italy.
      And the England manager could be forced to give young talisman Jude Bellingham a rest after he limped off the field late on with a suspected knee injury.
      Elsewhere, Ukraine are set to be without Bournemouth centre-back Ilya Zabamyi and Oleksandr Zubkov.
      However, Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko is all set to start at Wembley, while Mykhaylo Mudryk will likely be deployed in attack.
      Star men
      Mudryk provides electric speed in attack so Ben Chilwell or Kieran Trippier will need to be on their toes if they are picked to replace the suspended Shaw.
      Kane will be the dangerman for England and will be full of confidence after becoming record goalscorer.

      What have the managers said?
      Rotan said: “This is a match not only of players and coaches, but a match of the whole country.
      “I want to thank the people of Great Britain for supporting us in the war our country is waging against the enemy. Everyone’s support is very important to us.
      “We are very grateful to you for her. I believe this is also a match for our warriors. What is happening in Ukraine now is very scary.
      “We must be motivated to please them both with the game and the result, to give emotions that our people lack now.
      “Our boys who play in the Premier League are very emotional people who always support the country in all directions.
      “They are highly motivated, they are the leaders of the national team, an example for our young guys, for all people and athletes who take only the best from them. We should have more such players.”
      Southgate sent his side a warning after beating Italy, saying: “We have to go and get a result at Wembley now because this will be a fantastic result if we win and that’s exactly what we’ve said to the players straight after the game.
      “Then Monday they can head off wherever they want but it is going to be hard because Ukraine have had no competitive game [on Thursday].
      “If we can play as we did in the first half, then I am sure the fans will enjoy that but we are going to be playing against a very good team and we’ve got to get that right.”

      Roberto Mancini’s side have had England’s number since Gareth Southgate took the hot seat.
      The two sides have met twice since the Euro 2020 final, with a draw and another Italy win in the Nations League.
      The Three Lions haven’t beaten the Azzurri in a competitive game since their 1977 World Cup qualifier – that’s if you discount the 2012 Le Tournoi as “competitive”.
      But Italy are in a somewhat strange position, having not even featured at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.

      Luckily for Roberto Mancini, he managed to keep his job.
      The Three Lions WERE in Qatar in the winter – but were knocked out by eventual runners up France in the quarter-finals.
      England boss Gareth Southgate will be hoping to see a reaction from his players after yet more big competition disappointment.
      It will be an emotional night, as the game is Italy’s first since former striker and coach Gianluca Vialli died in January at the age of 58.

      Chelsea legend Vialli was 59 caps and worked as an assistant to Mancini when they won Euro 2020.
      Italy will wear one-off shirts carrying a special message in honour of Vialli.
      Mancini said: “It is the first time we have played a game since Luca’s passing.
      “We were very fortunate to have him, me as a team-mate and to work alongside him, you were lucky enough to have him in London and he had almost become an honorary Londoner, so you saw what he was all about.
