Netherlands v England team news: Guehi + Malen come in

Wednesday night brings the second lot of European Championship semi-final team news, this time from the Netherlands and England. It kicks off at 20:00 BST in Dortmund.

With a final versus Spain up for grabs, which historical clash between these nations will it honour: England’s glorious 4-1 masterclass at Euro 96, or Ronald Koeman controversially breaking hearts in the World Cup 1994 qualifier?

Then again, based on Gareth Southgate’s side so far, maybe it’ll be more like Italia 90’s goalless draw!

Both sides make just one change from their weekend wins. For England, Marc Guehi (€4.7m) returns from suspension to replace Ezri Konsa (€4.4m) in the back three. That means there’s still no Luke Shaw (€5.0m) start.

Highly-selected assets Jude Bellingham (€9.5m), Virgil van Dijk (€6.0m), Harry Kane (€11.0m), Cody Gakpo (€7.8m) and Jordan Pickford (€5.0m) all feature in the line-ups.

Dutch attacker Steven Bergwijn (€6.9m) was substituted at half-time against both Romania and Turkey. So it’s no surprise to now see him completely step aside for Donyall Malen (€6.9m).

Wout Weghorst (€6.4m) will have to make his impact from the bench, again.

TEAM NEWS

Netherlands XI – Verbruggen; Dumfries, van Dijk, de Vrij, Ake; Reijnders, Schouten, Simons; Malen, Gakpo, Depay

England XI – Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Rice, Mainoo, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden, Kane

      Trippier was just a placeholder for Shaw this match, Southgate didn't want to risk Shaw for 90mins, so gave Trippier 45mins.

      So not surprising at all.

    Welp... feels like Southgate didn't like how positive England was playing after Netherlands scored. They've gone back to "normal" playstyle.

        Yeah after watching those replays, it was a great strike and great goal.
        GK did not see that coming(neither did I tbf).

        Fair play to Watkins. Also showing why he probably should start ahead of Kane atm. Much more movement.

      If you are English then that seems a really negative way of looking at things. Come on man, have some faith. Yes Spain are very good but I’m sure we have the potential to beat them. Concentrate on the positives as there are a lot after that match.

      England not won a major tournament in 60 years and if we do win in Germany then that would be some pay back after they beat us in 1996. Spain have won plenty so our turn now.

        More player based and whoever scores me points and I think Spain has more potential to do so I this case.

        That's why i wanted Netherlands to advance as it would have potentially made for a goal rich final.
