Gareth Southgate’s England side couldn’t quite get it over the line at the World Cup last year but now they’ve got another chance at glory.
The brand new UEFA Nations League comes to conclusion which will see two semi-finals and a final over the course of the next five days.
The Three Lions face a resurgent Netherlands in their semi on Thursday, June 6 – live on talkSPORT – and will be hoping they can breakdown a tough defence which includes Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt at its heart.
Meanwhile, tonight, you can listen to live commentary of hosts Portugal’s clash with Switzerland as they look to lift the trophy in their own country.
England will have high hopes but how much has having several stars playing in the Europa League and Champions League finals affected their preparations?
Can Switzerland shock everyone, or will the Dutch prove they are about to enter a bright new era of Oranje?
We decided to reboot our famous Super Computer for the tournament and see who it predicts will emerge victorious on Sunday night.
Below are the calculated scores in the UEFA Nations League finals, which should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt…
