Over half of the groups have now been finalised in round one and England and Scotland will seal their fate in Group D this evening. England welcome Czech Republic to Wembley Stadium, while Scotland take on Croatia at Hampden Park, with both home nation sides looking to book their place alongside Italy, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Austria in the last 16.

Ahead of this evening's games, here's a look at all of the ramifications for each team. England are guaranteed a place in the last 16 as two of the current third placed teams (Finland and Ukraine) have finished on three points meaning the Three Lions are guaranteed a best third place qualification spot at the very least. A win over Czech Republic would seal top place in Group D and a last 16 tie with the runner-up of Group F which still could be any of France, Germany, Portugal or Hungary. A draw, however, would only be enough to secure second place in Group D, as Czech Republic would win the group by virtue of a better goal difference. And while a defeat would be worrying for Gareth Southgate, it could well still be enough to finish second in the group. If Croatia and Scotland play out a draw, England would finish two points clear of the third placed team in the event of a loss. Croatia cannot overtake England with a win as although the two sides would finish level on points, England would finish higher than the Croats on the head-to-head rule. Scotland, though, could overtake England with a win but would first have to reverse a three-goal swing in the respective sides' goal differences. If the two sides finish on the same goal difference, it would depend on which side has scored the most goals in the group stage. Scotland have to beat Croatia to finish at least third in their group. If they fail to win in Glasgow then they will be eliminated from EURO 2020. A win would guarantee Scotland third place and a place in the last 16 as their four points would better the total of fellow third-placed sides Finland and Ukraine. In order to finish second in the group, Scotland must beat Croatia and hope England lose to Czech Republic and they manage to end the evening with a better goal difference than the Three Lions.
