England (4-3-3): Fielding; Walker, Smalling, Jones, Bertrand; Henderson, Mancienne, Lansbury; Sturridge, Welbeck, Rose.
Stuart Pearce’s side enter their final match in Group B knowing only a win will be good enough to see them progress to the semi-finals, and so it is likely the creativity and guile of Arsenal midfielder Henri Lansbury, who impressed as a substitute against the Ukraine, will be preferred to the more physical presence of Jack Rodwell in the midfield.
Lansbury will be expected to provide a better quality of service to the unchanged attacking trident of Rose, Welbeck and Sturridge as England look to convert chances into much-needed goals, while the defensive pairing of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones will be hoping to continue their hugely impressive form so far in the tournament.
Czech Republic (4-5-1): Vaclik; Celustka, Mazuch, Suchy, Lecjaks; Dockal, Horava, Gecov, Moravek, Hlousek; Pekhart.
Manager Jakub Dovalil will likely stick with the same back four which has started both his side’s Group B matches so far, despite Wednesday’s defeat against Spain.
Jan Moravek will probably be the man chosen to replace the suspended Lukas Vacha in the centre of midfield, while Kaiserslautern winger Adam Hlousek should keep his place on the left flank ahead of Jan Kovarik after making his tournament debut against the Spaniards.
Up front, the much-touted Vaclav Kadlec is available for selection after returning from injury as a substitute on Wednesday, but Sparta Prague team-mate Tomas Pekhart should be given one last chance to impress from the start despite his indifferent form so far.
