Iceland are playing with a 4-4-2. In the middle of the park they'll be outnumbered. If we can get beyond Iceland's midfield two and punish them then we have a chance. I'm currently watching England warming up - doing finishing for fun with nobody missing.

For reference, here's England's record in knockout games in the last 26 years.

In 1990 England drew with Belgium (won in extra time), drew with Cameroon (won in extra time) and drew with W. Germany (lost on penalties),

In 1996 they drew with Spain (won on penalties) and drew with Germany (lost on penalties).

In 1998 they drew with Argentina (lost on penalties).

In 2002 they beat Denmark and then lost to Brazil.

In 2004 they drew with Portugal (lost on penalties), in 2006 they beat Ecuador and then drew with Portugal (lost on penalties).

In 2010 they lost to Germany and in 2012 they drew with Italy (lost on penalties).

Raheem Sterling will understand that it is par for the course. This is what happens. When you pull on an England shirt you are there to be criticised.

What he will want to do is put a performance in and get people backing him again.

If Roy Hodgson asked every fan in England to name their starting XI how many combinations would he get? At least 10m...

David Penn: Glad Lallana & Wilshere are out of the starting team but my enthusiasm is dampened by the presence of Sterling who is a lightweight

Simon Cropper: Hodgson is paying the price for taking Wilshere over in-form Townsend. If Lallana has a knock he has to turn to poor Sterling

Aashish: Roy's gambling again - Sterling oh please - why not Vardy or Rashford?

It's not often you see a player brought back in from the cold midway through a tournament like Raheem Sterling has tonight. But I can see the logic in it.

On his day he has the ability to beat a man, doesn't he? And we expect Iceland to form a defensive wall at times.

I don't think England have been that good in this tournament.

It doesn't matter if Raheem Sterling has a stinker or blinder, coach Roy Hodgson's future depends on winning this game.

We all know that it is 50 years since England last won a tournament - but it's actually very rare that they win a knockout game in a tournament at all.

Since the start of the 1990 World Cup England have won two knockout matches inside 90 minutes, losing twice and drawing an incredible nine times. 

Put your money on extra time...

We are 30 minutes away from kick-off in Nice. Roy Hodgson looks like a man in a very jovial state, he's been walking among the players as they warmed up and now shakes the hands of referee Damir Skomina and his assistants. 

If things go south, this is likely to be Roy's final match in charge...

John Murray
BBC Radio 5 live commentator

I've been encouraged by the way England have played. Compared to what we have seen in recent tournaments we have seen England on the front foot. There have been encouraging signs. They just haven't been taking their chances.

England's previous recent history in tournament knockout stages shouldn't affect this squad who are a new crop. This group of England players are far better than Iceland, although their opponents are very organised.

England will wear white tonight with Iceland in blue. Both sets of players look relaxed as they go through their pre-match warm-ups.

The opinion on England's displays so far seems pretty split. For my money they played well in all three games, much better than in most tournaments anyway!

Keep your views coming on #bbceuro2016. 

England’s last four knockout games at the Euros have all gone to penalties. They won the first shoot-out (v Spain in 1996) but have then lost the last three (v Germany in 1996, v Portugal in 2004, v Italy in 2012).

Going all the way tonight?

I am surprised Sterling is in the team because he hasn't performed. The good thing about being manager is that you always have the chance to have the last word. It shouldn't matter what team they put out they should have enough to beat Iceland, no matter which team they put out.

On examples of an England player having had the same criticism as Sterling: I can give you personal experience. People didn't want me in the team before Euro 96. I hadn't scored in 14 games. I'd been producing the goods in the Premier League and I won the Golden Boot. I put my neck on the line and said judge me in the tournament.

Sterling has had opportunities, but he's been taken off in games. He has to prove himself on the pitch.

Some great chanting from the Iceland fans which involves a very slow clap - not a clue what it is so maybe some of our Icelandic friends can provide the answer.

The roads were very busy out of Nice and on the approaches to the stadium and there are still thousands of empty seats inside the stadium.

An offer he can't refuse...

Mesha:#ENG, external can't handle pressure , not street wise and not tactically smart. 1 nil to #ISL, external is my prediction.

Will Pedley: The problem is, Roy, the second Sterling starts to play poorly he'll crumble and the crowd will be on him. Poor choice

Daniel Sturridge said some wonderful things about Raheem Sterling this week, he is a huge talent for today and the future. I would say to him, just go out there and enjoy playing, you are learning and improving all the time.
