Rob Page’s side will have to beat Finland in their Euro 2024 playoff semi-final and the winner of Poland’s clash with Estonia to book their spot in a third consecutive major tournament. 

England excelled in qualifying to finish top of their pre-tournament group with an unbeaten record in tow, winning six of their eight matches, including two wins against Italy, and drawing twice.

Scotland similarly impressed by finishing second behind Spain to qualify for the Euros having been one of the standout teams, with Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay scoring seven goals during that run.

England avoided other top seeds in Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium and hosting nation Germany as a result of their qualifying run with all included in pot one.
