KEY TALKING POINTS AHEAD OF WEMBLEY SEMI-FINAL

England face Denmark in the semi-finals of Euro 2020 tonight. Here, we look at some key talking points ahead of the game.

1966 and all that

England are on the cusp of reaching their first major final since winning the World Cup in 1966. Many have tried but none have succeeded since Sir Alf Ramsey's side lifted the Jules Rimet trophy 55 years ago. If Gareth Southgate can guide his team into Sunday's final they will still have a major task on their hands to emulate their predecessors.

From '66 to 66,000

England have certainly benefited from the majority of their fixtures being played at home. All three Group D clashes as well as the 2-0 win over Germany in the last-16 took place at Wembley. After a detour to beat Ukraine in Rome, England return home for the Denmark clash and will be roared on by around 66,000 supporters.

Christian values

Denmark are not only ranked No 10 in the FIFA rankings but also go into the game - as Southgate said - "riding a wave of emotion". Their tournament could have ended when Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during their opening game against Finland. They had to regather themselves for the remainder of the competition - something they have done to such a degree that they have made it all the way to the last four.

No goals allowed

England’s defence is yet to be breached during Euro 2020. It is now five clean sheets and counting, with Jordan Pickford, pictured, still unbeaten this summer. Adding their two warm-up wins, England have already set a new record for consecutive clean sheets.
