Italy booked their Euro 2020 final spot by triumphing over Spain on penalties on Tuesday as they wait the winner between England and Denmark due tonight.

Denmark vs England

England will attempt to reach their first ever European Championship final tonight — but 1992 winners Denmark are expected to display tough test.

The Three Lions thrashed Ukraine 4-0 to book their second successive major semi-final and will be hoping for a much different outcome to the 2-1 defeat to Croatia at the 2018 World Cup.

Denmark’s 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic was a tighter affair but the Danes have grown stronger as the tournament progresses and have the players to trouble England’s previously unbreakable backline.

Our preview gives you everything you need to know ahead of the huge game.

Euro Flashback

It is 29 years since England and Denmark last did battle at the European Championships.

Back at Euro 92, optimism was high in England after a strong showing at Italia 90, while the Danes had only qualified after Yugoslavia were withdrawn.

But England failed to lay a glove on Denmark in the group stage as their opponents made the most of their late luck to lift the trophy in unlikely fashion.
