Players in Gareth Southgate's squad will be hoping to win tonight's match at the Cologne Stadium

England players will have the support of their loved ones tonight as they look to beat Slovenia and finish top of their Euro 2024 group.

The Three Lions have been abject out in Germany so far, despite picking up four points to qualify for the knockout stages.


England beat Serbia in their opening match nine days ago, with Jude Bellingham heading home the only goal of the game.

And the Three Lions then followed that up with a poor performance in a 1-1 draw with Denmark.

England need to beat Slovenia to ensure they finish top of their group.

They'll want to avoid following in the footsteps of Italy and France, who have both finished second in their own groups.

And England players' wives and girlfriends have turned out in full force for the big event in Germany.

Megan Pickford, the wife of Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, has been snapped pouting for a selfie with Ellie Alderson.

Megan and Pickford have been together since their days at school, with reports saying they first started dating when they were 14.

Ellie in in a relationship with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, who has been left on the bench.

Many thought the forward would potentially start the clash, especially given Harry Kane's patchy form.

But Southgate has opted to keep faith with Kane, who leads their attack along with Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka.

Irish influencer Aine May Kennedy has also been spotted in the stands.

The 26-year-old is in a relationship with Chelsea star Conor Gallagher, who gets the nod in midfield tonight.

Gallagher has come in for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the Liverpool star yet to get going out at the competition.

He has been playing in the middle of the park, despite being a right-back by trade.

Southgate said after the 1-1 draw with Denmark that Alexander-Arnold was being used in midfield as an 'experiment' in the absence of Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips has been a regular at previous tournaments.

However, the Manchester City has been snubbed by Southgate after struggling during a disastrous spell at West Ham.

Gary Lineker, meanwhile, has accused Southgate of hanging Alexander-Arnold 'out to dry' with his comments.

The outspoken BBC presenter, speaking on Monday, said: "I do feel a bit for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

"I feel like he’s been hung out to dry a little bit.

"His manager’s said he’s an experiment and now it looks like an experiment that doesn’t work.

"It’s very hard to play in a new position even when a team’s playing well.

"But when a team’s struggling and a team’s disjointed and not together and not getting up the pitch it becomes very difficult.

"I do feel for him because he’s an unbelievably talented player."
