England will face Croatia, Czech Republic and the winner of the Path C play-off group, which features Scotland, Israel, Norway and Serbia, in the Euro 2020 group stage.
The Three Lions are the top seeds in Group D, meaning they will play all their fixtures at Wembley – the remaining fixtures in the group will take place at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Gareth Southgate’s side will start their campaign with a tense fixture against Croatia, hoping to shed the scars of their World Cup semi-final defeat. They will then face the winner of Path C, before finishing the group stage against Czech Republic, who England thrashed 5-0 at Wembley during qualifying before suffering defeat in the reverse fixture.

However, a similar situation to the World Cup could arise with England set to meet the runners up in Group F if they top the group themselves. That would mean a round-of-16 tie against one of France, Germany or Portugal, which Southgate will be keen to avoid.
