Serbia have qualified for a first European Championships since Montenegrin independence and, though implacably inconsistent, have a richly talented squad that have a habit of turning things on when it matters most – former Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrović will be desperate to perform against familiar faces. The Eagles' attacking depth is fearsome and if they click then all bets are off, but losing 4-0 to Russia in March, and home and away to Hungary in qualifying is typical of their up-and-down nature.
All seemed rosy for England when qualifying unbeaten for Euro 2024, but one win in four friendlies this calendar year has tempered some of that optimism, the recent 1-0 defeat to Iceland in particular. Gareth Southgate has plenty of attacking options from which to choose, but defensive deficiencies continue to cause worry – will the Three Lions boss go all out attack and hope for the best at the back?
Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch Euro 2024 wherever you are.

How to watch Serbia vs England for FREE in the UK
Use a VPN to watch FREE from anywhere
Serbia vs England is free on BBC/BBC iPlayer for viewers in the UK. Outside the UK? No problem. If you're travelling abroad for work or vacation and want to tune into the BBC as you would in your armchair at home, you can use a VPN so that you don't get blocked by the broadcaster.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there but, for Euro 2024, FourFourTwo recommends:
NordVPN is basically a tap-in:
1. Install it: NordVPN
2. Fire it up and choose your service. So, if you want to watch a UK streaming service, choose the UK server.
3. Enjoy the game. Open up the iPlayer and watch the stream.
Serbia vs England live stream: team news
Serbia's biggest dilemma going into today's game is whether to start centre-forward duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic. The former Fulham is a guaranteed starter and excellent line leader and though the latter has enjoyed two prolific seasons at Juventus, Vlahovic has rarely been at his best for his country. The 3-5-2 necessary for the Eagles to include both seldom works, either.
Filip Kostic is a fine outlet down the left, whether as full-back or wing-back, and midfielders Dusan Tadic and Sergei Milenkovic-Savic will bear much of the creative burden in a Serbia squad that has few injury worries.
England, meanwhile, know that left-back Luke Shaw will be absent today as he continues his convalescence from a recurring hamstring problem. John Stones picked up a big and missed training earlier in the week but is expected to take his place at centre-back.
Otherwise, Gareth Southgate's principal decision is who to select as Declan Rice's defensive midfield partner – Trent Alexander-Arnold's passing range, Conor Gallagher's energy or Adam Wharton 360 vision – with Jude Bellingham likely to return as a No10.
