England have the possibility to return to the ultimate of the European Below-21 Championship once they face Netherlands Below-21s in Bratislava.
After three largely uninspiring performances within the group stage, Lee Carsley’s defending champions cranked into life within the quarter-final tie towards Spain.
James McAtee, Harvey Elliott and Elliot Anderson had been heading in the right direction to safe a semi-final berth towards the Dutch.
Michael Reiziger’s Jong Orange needed to scrap for his or her place within the final 4, beating Portugal 1-0 regardless of the early sending-off of Ruben van Bommel.
England Group Information
Carsley makes only one change to the aspect that carried out so effectively towards Spain with Anderson coming in for Tyler Morton in midfield.
Adam Stansfield will get one other probability to impress in assault.
England: Beadle; Livramento, Cresswell, Quansah, Hinshelwood; Anderson, McAtee, Elliott; Scott, Hutchinson, Stansfield
