England:

England are looking to win their first European Under-17 Championship since 2014 in what is a record 17th appearance at the competition.

To win the tournament they will have to face defending champions Italy, who knocked them out of the quarter-finals last year.

The Young Lions made it through the qualifying rounds, winning all six of their games.

The team is made up of mostly under-18 and under-21 Premier League players, but also features Leeds United's Harry Gray, the 16-year-old who made an appearance off the bench for Daniel Farke's team in their 6-0 home win over Stoke in the Championship in April.

Italy:

The Italians won the European Under-17 Championship last year, beating Portugal in the final and will be the team to beat in Group B.

They had previously made it to three finals without success before last year's triumph.
