England and Serbia will begin their Euro 2024 campaigns on Sunday night at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins-Arena.

The Group D clash will be the first ever competitive game between the two nations.

Serbia have been beaten in five of their last 10 games, including losses to Austria, Russia and two against Hungary.
