    England v Denmark (20:00 BST)

    England have a 68% chance of beating Denmark and securing a place in the European Championship final, according to Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis at sports data company Nielsen's Gracenote.

    "Home advantage plays a big role in this, increasing England's winning chance by 12% and reducing Denmark's by the same," he said.

    Gleave said Denmark's chances of winning Euro 2020 had risen to 14.3%. "They will be England's toughest opposition to date [at Euro 2020]," he said.

    Danish daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten have printed a specially edited front page dedicated to their team before today's game.

    One of their journalists wrote on Twitter: “It is not often that Jyllands-Posten changes the colour of its masthead. But it is also not so often that Denmark WINS OVER ENGLAND AND GOES TO THE FINAL”.

    England v Denmark (20:00 BST)

    Denmark have become one of the stories of the tournament and have gone from strength to strength since the trauma of their opening game, when midfielder Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest.

    Former Tottenham player Eriksen, who has since been discharged from hospital, scored the winner from the penalty spot the last time Denmark visited Wembley to play England in the Nations League in October 2020.

    The Danes, who lost their first two games to Finland and Belgium, have won three matches in a row to reach the semi-finals.

    Current travel regulations mean people travelling from Denmark to England must quarantine for 10 days upon arrival. Whilst around 6,000 tickets have been allocated to Danish fans living in the UK, the majority of fans will be watching back home.

    It looks like the party has already started in Copenhagen!

    Rio Ferdinand
    Former England defender on BBC One

    The mentality and togetherness of the squad all comes from Croatia in 2018. This isn't something that has happened overnight, he has built this Gareth.

    Since that game against Croatia, he has seen what went wrong and has worked on it. They can change formation and bring in different players at any time and nothing changes.

    Sancho is a good example of this, he came in after not playing the first four games and it is seamless.

    You look back in my teams, players who came in that situation would have been sulking around the camp at some point, talking to their agents at home probably. When they did get the opportunity they would be looking for an excuse but these guys are professional.

    They have an understanding of what the job is and they all go out and do it a tee.

    Former Denmark midfielder and Euro 1992 winner, John Jensen on BBC Sport: "I am not surprised that Denmark is in the semi-final with England. The new coaching staff has been fantastic, they play some really good football. They may be the outsider, but if they compete and everybody is ready they can beat anyone on the day.

    "I am happy we are there so we have a chance to go all the way but it will be a tough game today."

    Former attacking midfielder Karen Carney was involved in two Euro semi-finals (2009 and 2017) and two World Cup semi-finals (2015 and 2019).

    My message to Jack Grealish: Keep expressing yourself and have no fear. And if you can't make a difference on the pitch, you have to make a difference off it.

    One of my favourite sayings is 'be the difference with the things that make you different'. Jack is different.

    We are creative players - so you have to make the difference when you get your chance. Sometimes it can be risky because to be creative, you have to do something that might not always work. You have to try it though. You can see that as a challenge and embrace it - which I think Jack will.

  20. 'England biggest challenge for Denmark'published at 16:45 British Summer Time 7 July 2021

    England v Denmark (20:00 BST)

    Former Denmark midfielder and Euro 1992 winner John Jensen on BBC Sport: "I think the biggest challenge in the tournament for Denmark so far is going to be England. They were the favourites before the tournament.

    "Belgium was another one, we lost them to 2-1, where in the first half we absolutely outplayed them. I think we were brilliant in the first half.

    "I think that it is a different match tonight, England at home, 60,000 people at Wembley. The players have not tried this so far in the tournament. They have played three games at home with 25,000 people in the stands supporting them.

    "This is the first time they have played with 60,000 people against them. This could be a point if the players start to be nervous, but they have to be motivated to cope with that. I will be very excited to watch."
