The Prince of Wales will attend England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland today.
The Prince, who is the president of the Football Association, will be present to cheer on Gareth Southgate’s team in Dusseldorf as they seek to secure a place in the semi-finals.
He has already attended one of England’s games at the tournament, the group-stage draw with Denmark in Frankfurt.
Despite progressing to the last eight, England have failed to click into gear at the finals so far and face a Swiss team which comfortably eliminated holders Italy in the last-16.
It has been reported Southgate is considering a change in formation to a back three in a bid to improve England’s fortunes.
Southgate’s team were seconds away from going out in the last round before a Jude Bellingham overhead kick took their match against Slovakia to extra-time.
When is England’s next game?
England will play Switzerland today (July 6) at 5pm UK time.
Where is England vs Switzerland being played?
The match is in Dusseldorf, where neither England nor Switzerland have yet played at this year’s tournament. The ground is usually home to Fortuna Dusseldorf. For this competition, the capacity is 47,000.
What TV channel is it on?
It will be broadcast live on the BBC, whose pundits have so far been remarkably critical of England’s performances at Euro 2024. One of the themes of the tournament has been the strained relationship between Gary Lineker and the England team.
If Gareth Southgate’s men win their semi-final will be on ITV, with both channels – as always – sharing the final.
Who could England play in the semi-finals?
The other quarter-final on England’s side of the draw is tonight at 8pm, between Netherlands and Turkey.
England vs Switzerland predictions
England know they cannot afford another poor performance against a Switzerland side that has impressed so far in Germany. There will also be changes in defence with Marc Guehi suspended.
Expect this to be another long slog for England fans, with penalties a distinct possibility.
