England and Slovakia meet in Saint-Etienne tonight knowing that three points for either side could send them through to the knockout stages as winners of Group B and earn them a favourable draw in the next round.
England have had a decent start to Euro 2016 and despite suffering a cruel, late equaliser from Russia in their opening game, their fans might be becoming slightly more optimistic this summer.
The Three Lions are a long way from being the finished product but there's a confidence and enthusiasm in the squad that the fans haven't seen in a long time and if they play as well as they have in their first two games they have the potential to go far.

Slovakia have had a mixed start to their tournament and they opened their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Wales, where they missed a whole host of chances and should have taken at least a point.
They played much better in their second game and ran out 2-1 winners against a disappointing Russia side and showed what they were capable of on their day.
England will have to be wary of Slovakian danger man Marek Hamsik who is on an entirely different level to his teammates. The Napoli star has netted two goals in four for his country and will be their biggest threat tonight..
With his side needing just a point to avoid one of the heavyweights in the next round, Roy Hodgson is set to make changes to his starting eleven tonight and we could see as many as six changes, most noticeably the impressive Wayne Rooney.

It's a huge gamble from Hodgson but we still expect England to be too good for Slovakia tonight and like the look of the win at 4/5.
Jamie Vardy looks set to start tonight and the Leicester man has been exceptional every time he's put on an England shirt and we like the look of him to scoring anytime at 2/1.
