England come into the game full of confidence, having won all three of their group games 2-0, comfortably beating Czech Republic, Israel and Germany in the process.
Anthony Gordon, Emile Smith Rowe, Cameron Archer, Jacob Ramsey and Harvey Elliott have all notched for the young Three Lions side, with manager Lee Carsley also handing starts to 20 of the 23 members of the squad in the process.
Portugal, meanwhile, haven't been as convincing in the group stages, picking up four points and just managing to scrape through ahead of the Netherlands. Their opening game of the tournament started off poorly against hosts Georgia, as they lost 2-0 and had Tomas Araujo sent off.
A 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in their second game left them with a fighting chance as they headed into the final match against Belgium, and an 89th minute penalty from Benfica midfielder Tiago Dantas ensured it would be Portugal heading into the knockout stages of the tournament.
They'll have to play better against and England side packed full of Premier League experience and quality, though, with the winner setting up a tie against either Israel or Georgia in the semi-finals.
On the other side of the draw, Spain face Switzerland while France are up against Ukraine.
Kick off is at 5pm BST.
