Malta vs England LIVE! Euro 2024 qualifier match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today
The Three Lions continue their quest to win Euro 2024 tonight with their third qualifier, on the small Mediterranean island of Malta. The National Stadium in Ta’Qali plays host to a game that England are expected to win, and win big.
Gareth Southgate will leave his five Manchester City treble winners out of his team for today’s game having answered questions on Jack Grealish’s enthusiastic celebrations last night. Trent Alexander-Arnold could be elevated to a midfield role while Harry Kane is set to lead the line flanked by Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka.
England have won back-to-back games to kick off their Group C campaign with arguably their toughest tests, against Italy and Ukraine, already faced. It has been a gruelling season and Southgate’s stars will want a comfortable night before facing North Macedona on Monday. Follow Malta vs England LIVE via Standard Sport’s matchday blog, featuring Dan Kilpatrick’s expert analysis from Ta’Qali.
