Preview

England have already enjoyed success at youth level this summer, with the under-20 side triumphing at the FIFA U-20 World Cup earlier this month.

Aidy Boothroyd's men will be eager to emulate their younger counterparts in Poland, but they will have to see off the likes of Slovakia if they are to be champions.

England are two-time winners of the Euro U21s, in 1982 and 1984, but their recent record is poor. The last time they made it out of the group stage, they got to the final in 2009 before losing to Germany.

The Young Lions were unbeaten in qualifying for the tournament, winning six games and drawing two in a group including Norway, Switzerland, Kazakhstan and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Slovakia's record was six wins, a draw and a defeat in a group that featured the Netherlands, Turkey, Belarus and Cyprus.

England have taken a talented squad to Poland, with a number of Premier League regulars included:

The likes of Jordan Pickford—who recently secured a £30 million transfer to Everton—Southampton duo James Ward-Prowse and Nathan Redmond, Leicester City's Demarai Gray and the Toffees' Mason Holgate all impressed in the English top flight last season.

That kind of experience should prove invaluable to England in Poland, and Slovakia's players will be aware of the quality they face on Monday.

Slovakia have their own stars to call upon, though. Nearly a dozen members of their squad already have senior international caps, and UEFA tipped Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Laszlo Benes to be a potential star of the tournament:

Monday's clash is likely to be fiercely competitive given what is at stake, but it could take a while to open up as neither side will want to expose themselves and concede an early goal.

Because of the European Under-21 Championship format, a defeat can be almost tournament-ending, so it will be a tense affair at the Kielce Stadium.
