England look to make it two wins from two as they face Israel in their second group-stage match of the European Under-21 Championship. The Young Lions got off to a successful start against the Czech Republic and need more of the same here, with a clash against defending champions Germany to come.
Jacob Ramsey gave England the lead in their tournament opener, before Emile Smith Rowe came off the bench to put the result beyond doubt late on. The Arsenal midfielder is pushing to start this time, while Lee Carsley may opt to bring Cameron Archer into the side having played without a traditional striker against the Czech Republic.
Israel will be on a high themselves after they held Germany to a goalless draw, despite playing half of that match with ten men. Any positive result here would be a huge boost in their bid to qualify for the knockout stages. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
