Is England U21s v Germany U21s on TV? How to watch European Under-21 Championships game
England's Under-21s have gotten off to a decent start in their European Under-21s Championship campaign. Lee Carsley 's s ide have won one and drawn one from their first two fixtures and sit second in Group B.
They now face Germany in their final group game knowing that a victory would propel them to the top of the group and send them safely through to the next round. In theory, the team should already have enough points to get through and only a large victory for Slovenia over Czechia would send them out of the tournament should Germany prove victorious on Wednesday evening.
The Germans have impressed with two wins from two. A 3-0 triumph over Slovenia followed up with a 4-2 beating of Czechia sent them to the top of the group.
With their quarter-final place secured, manager Antoino di Salvo could decide to rest players ahead of the crucial knockout rounds.

England U21s vs Germany U21s team news
Lee Carsley has a full squad to select from but may decide to switch things up in pursuit of more aggression in the final third.

He is one for consistency though so the starting XI may not change too much.
Predicted line-ups
England U21s XI: Beadle; Quansah, Creswell, Hackney, Livramento; Gray, Anderson, Elliott; McAtee, Rowe, Hutchinson
Germany U21s XI: Atubolu; Collins, Rosenfelder, Arrey-Mbi, Brown; Nebel, Martel, Reitz; Gruda, Tresoldi, Woltenmade
Odds
England U21s to win - 6/4

Odds via Bet365
Prediction
Germany are on an unbeaten run in their last 17 matches across all competitions and have already scored seven goals in two games at these Euros.
That is the most of any side and with England struggling in the final third they are the favourites to go on and win the game. Should Lee Carsley's men manage to score first though things could get interesting but the Germans should have enough quality to take the win.

Verstappen would welcome Vettel having a role at Red Bull
SPIELBERG, Austria, June 26 (Reuters) - Max Verstappen said he would welcome fellow four-times Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel back to Red Bull after the German spoke of possibly succeeding consultant Helmut Marko at the team. Austrian Marko, 82 and a former racer who was blinded in one eye after a stone pierced his visor during the 1972 French Grand Prix in Clermont-Ferrand, has a contract until the end of next year. Vettel, 37, won consecutive titles with Red Bull from 2010-13 and retired in 2022 after stints at Ferrari and Aston Martin. "It's more than normal that someone that has achieved so much with Red Bull, has been brought up by Red Bull (should return)," Verstappen told reporters at the Austrian Grand Prix on Thursday when asked for his thoughts. "In a sense there's always a spot available, right? "I think also Seb always kept a really good relationship with Helmut anyway, even when he left. I didn't know that of course they were talking but I'm sure that there's always a space for Seb in any kind of form." Marko was a close confidant of the team's late Austrian owner Dietrich Mateschitz, serving as his trusted representative in the paddock as well as also taking charge of the young driver programme. During Vettel's era the outspoken advisor was part of a leading trio with principal Christian Horner and technical ace Adrian Newey, who is now at Aston Martin. "We're in contact about this, though maybe not so intensively or in-depth yet, but it's possible," Vettel told Austria's ORF television recently. "He's already said a few times that he'd stop, but he's still here, and I wish him all the best so that he stays around for a very long time." Marko told Austria's Kleine Zeitung on Wednesday that Vettel was following everything very closely. "The question of succession is also one of the issues," he said.

Inside Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale's ‘doomed relationship' as friends label them a ‘holiday romance that won't last'
POSING in swimwear in sun-soaked social media snaps, they look like the ultimate loved-up celebrity couple. But friends fear the final whistle could soon be blown on Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale 's romance. 9 9 9 9 The former England footballer, 36, is swapping escargots for England and moving back home to be closer to his five children - and insiders close to the pair say they may not survive the transition. While he's been playing football in France, and frolicking with make-up artist to the stars Lou, 41, off the pitch, Andy's ex, former Towie star Billi Mucklow, 37, has been looking after their three young kids, plus his two teenage children from a previous relationship, back in the UK. A source said: 'There are genuine fears that Andy and Lou won't last when they return to the UK. "Their relationship has effectively been a big holiday romance, and they are going to be seriously tested when returning to reality. "Andy has clearly made it his priority to be closer to his children. "While that is admirable, things might not be the same for him and fun-loving Lou back in the UK." During Andy's time in France, he and Lou - who Andy affectionately calls his "T Total" because she doesn't drink - have shared photos galore of their sun-kissed life. In April, they headed to Magaluf for a one-day "loliday", as Lou described it. Then, following the end of Bordeaux's season, Andy - once the most expensive footballer in British history, after joining Liverpool for £35 million in 2011 - whisked Lou off to Ibiza in May. An insider added: "It very much looks like a holiday romance from the outside and everyone knows what happens to those when the sun stops shining. Andy Carroll quizzed by cops twice after bust-ups with girlfriend at packed restaurant and hotel during Greek holiday 'Lou loves travel and working as an influencer means she's always here, there and everywhere. "It's very much up in the air about how things will actually work for them once they are home." COUPLE CLASH In fact, cracks have already started appearing between Andy and Lou after he was quizzed by the police twice over bust-ups with her during a break on the Greek party island of Mykonos earlier this month. After the first clash, a worker at restaurant Nikolus Tavern said: 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. 'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.' Following a chat with cops, during which Andy was 'very calm', the striker returned to Lou. However, hours later officers escorted him to a local police station for questioning after reports of damage to the couple's room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel. A hotel worker confirmed the incident, telling The Sun on Sunday: 'Yes, they were staying here. He broke the door.' Carroll wasn't arrested, and it's understood no further action was taken, but Lou stayed elsewhere that night, checking into celebrity hotspot Soho Roc House private members' club. One British holidaymaker spotted the pair engaged in a bust-up and claimed he heard the former Liverpool striker shout at her: 'I'm done with us!' LOU'S LOVE Before Andy, Lou's last romance was with SAS: Who Dares Wins star Jay Morton. The former soldier, 41, and the make-up artist were first spotted looking loved-up at Coachella Music Festival in April 2022, but by January 2023 they had gone their separate ways and Lou wiped all trace of Jay from her social media. She wrote on Instagram at the time: 'No 2022 dump from me because it was the most horrible year of my life. Be kind and look after people.' Lou's social media has often been a happy hunting ground for her. The star previously told how she has found guys on Instagram, and said it was an 'easy' way to meet men. When speaking about social media hook-ups in a 2022 episode of podcast Sex, Lies & DM Slides, she said: 'It's just men, isn't it? I do think there is a bit of a thing going on with the blue ticks. "Like, they just go in with it and it's a bit of a, 'Are you DTF [down to f**k]?' But without saying that. 'It's not as literal as that, but you genuinely can, if you want to, have sex, probably go and meet someone off Towie quite quickly.' Nomadic lifestyle Asked if she's been messaging anyone from Towie, she said: 'Loads of them. Not this year, but I have in the past. I'm not saying. "There is a little world going on, and it's quite easy to go and meet someone from Instagram. "I generally find just talking on Instagram is better for dating. I meet more blokes that way." Lou is also no stranger to membership-based dating app Raya, and previously admitted she would 'always connect' with people she 'already knows a little bit'. She added: 'So it's really easy to start chatting.' Lou - who first shot to fame as One Direction 's make-up artist, and remains close pals with Harry Styles - has a daughter, Lux Atkin, 13, with musician Tom Atkin, 40. Lux - @Baby Lux on her 23,000-follower Instagram account - was previously dubbed 'One Direction's youngest fan', after she was often pictured with the Story Of My Life hitmakers. Lou led a nomadic lifestyle while on tour with the boyband, and that has continued throughout her life. MARRIAGE MATERIAL? In May, Andy's friends were convinced he was planning to pop the question to Lou - as soon as his divorce from Billi was finalised. A friend told The Sun on Sunday at the time: 'Lou is already telling her mates they have discussed marriage, and Andy thinks he's met his soulmate. "Their connection is so strong. He has never felt like this before. 'He definitely wants to put a ring on it. It's been a whirlwind romance for both of them. "But they're playing for keeps." Meanwhile, Andy and Billi are still thrashing out their divorce, after separating in September 2024 - with he and Lou revealing their romance weeks later. Billi recently showed Andy just what he is missing when she shared several stunning bikini pictures of her own on Instagram, during a break in Mallorca. She added the caption: 'Back To My Happy Place." But will a return to England be a happy place for Andy and Lou? I fell out of love with everything. I was very depressed. I wouldn't go out of the house, I had to wear a hat if I did. I hated everything and everybody Andy Carroll The footballer recently admitted his final years in England were a "nightmare", before he was offered an escape route from French side Amiens in 2023, and then signed for fourth-tier club Bordeaux in 2024. Speaking to The Independent in November, he said: "I fell out of love with everything. I was very depressed. I wouldn't go out of the house, I had to wear a hat if I did. I hated everything and everybody." Andy also told how he has enjoyed a much 'easier' and 'simpler life' in France. Speaking about fame having its "dark sides", he said: "In France I live a much easier, simpler life. 'People recognise me in the street but respect me. "That's key to my happiness." Whether Lou can help deliver Andy's happiness goal remains to be seen… but their romance could be heading into injury time. 9 9 9 9 9

Juventus vs Man City LIVE: Team news and line-ups ahead of Club World Cup clash
The battle for top spot in Group G comes to a head in Orlando as Manchester City and Juventus go head-to-head with an eye to avoid one of the tournament favourites in the knockouts. Both European giants have already booked their respective places in the round of 16, convincingly beating Wydad AC and Al Ain to each boast a goal difference of eight after two games. Now comes the biggest test of the competition for both sides, with the prospect of dodging likely Group H winners Real Madrid in the next round acting as a major motivation. Man City will need to buck the trend of poor results against The Old Lady if they want the easier draw, though, having lost three of their previous four meetings against the Italian titans over the past 15 years.
