Team analysis

<h3>Venue, date &amp; kick-off time</h3><p>The Euro 2024 qualifier between England and Ukraine will be played at the Wembley Stadium on <strong>Sunday, March 26</strong>. The game is scheduled to kick off at <strong>5pm BST (1pm EDT)</strong>.</p><h3>Match predictions &amp; expected outcome</h3><p>England will be high on confidence heading into the game after their win over Italy. However, Ukraine has managed to hold the Three Lions to a draw twice in the last five meetings between the two teams. England's confidence and superior squad should take them across the finish line in this one. </p><h3>Key battles to watch out for</h3><p>We could get to see two Chelsea stars battle it out on one side of the pitch if James and Mudryk are featured. Mudryk has a point to prove at the global level at this point in his career and James is a difficult full-back to get past for any tricky winger. </p><h3>Potential game changers</h3><p>With 54 goals for England, Harry Kane is in terrific form for club and country. He only needs to see a small gap in defence to grab a goal and change the game. Ukraine's centre-backs will be on high alert against the Tottenham striker throughout the game. </p>
