A draw will be enough for England tonight to reach the Euros knockout phase.

But a win over Slovakia in Saint Etienne would confirm a top spot finish in Group B.

That would mean playing a last 16 tie in Paris, which is near to their tournament base.

It looks like Roy Hodgson intends ringing the changes with Rooney dropped to the bench along with Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling.

Wales also aim to reach the last 16 tonight.

A win over Russia would guarantee that – and they could also clinch top spot.

Meanwhile, France and Switzerland are through to the next stage – after fighting out a scoreless draw last night.

Albania beat Romania to claim third spot.
