Spain’s victory over Albania on Monday night guaranteed England a place in the EUROs knockout rounds.
Although top of Group C following a 1-0 win over Serbia and a 1-1 draw against Denmark, the Three Lions will be desperate to take another three points when they meet Slovenia on Tuesday night to avoid a Last 16 tie against hosts and enemies Germany.
