England will look to finish its group stage matches of Euro 2024 on a winning note as it plays Slovenia at the Cologne Stadium in Germany on Tuesday.

Good news for Chelsea fans?

Conor Gallagher started for England at a major international tournament for the first time in his career. He replaced Trent-Alexander Arnold, who has had a mixed tournament so far, playing as a defensive midfielder instead of his natural position as a full-back, as he does at Liverpool.

Declan Rice rules the midfield

No player on the pitch made more key passes than Declan Rice in the first half (2). Though England failed to break the deadlock, Rice’s omnipresence kept Slovenia on its toes throughout the first half.

Pickford the record-maker

Jordan Pickford has now kept more clean sheets at major tournaments than any goalkeeper in England’s history. 

Southgate’s trusted generals

John Stones is the only outfield player to have started all 22 matches for England in major tournaments (Euro + World Cup) under Gareth Southgate (also 22 for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford).
