The two nations share one of football’s fiercest rivalries.

Diego Maradona’s ‘hand of god’, David Beckham’s red card at France ’98 and Beckham’s match-winning redemption in 2002 are just some of the stand-out moments between the sides.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says history is irrelevant, and he doesn’t want to get carried away with the emotion of the fixture.

“Us is England now, and it’s us being at our best at beating other top nations, and it’s us against them to get a place in the final. 

“It’s a game of football, 90 minutes, 120 or penalties – we’re ready for anything and it’s us against them at the end of the day.

“It’s about who comes out on top. We’re fully prepared for that.”

England, meanwhile, will have a fit Declan Rice for that semi-final tomorrow.

The Arsenal midfielder was in bed for three days with a stomach bug ahead of facing Norway.

He’s now fully recovered and took part in a behind-closed-doors training session yesterday.

Thomas Tuchel is expected to have a fully fit squad to choose from – except the suspended Jarrell Quansah and injured Jordan Henderson.
