Team news & squads
Czechia vs England Probable lineups


Santi Denia names a projected XI featuring Lukas Hornicek in goal, with Robin Hranac, Vladimir Coufal, Jiri Slama, and Stepan Chaloupek forming the defensive unit. Michal Sadilek, Alex Kral, and Matej Radosta are expected to operate through midfield, with Pavel Sulc, Lukas Ambros, and Adam Hlozek leading the attack. No injuries or suspensions are currently listed for the home side.
For England, Thomas Tuchel's projected XI places James Trafford in goal behind a back four of Lewis Hall, Marc Guehi, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ezri Konsa, though Konsa's availability remains in doubt after he missed training alongside Nico O'Reilly. Jude Bellingham and Myles Lewis-Skelly are named in midfield alongside Elliot Anderson, with Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon supporting Harry Kane in attack. Updates on Konsa and O'Reilly are expected closer to kick-off.
Form
Czechia head into this fixture with two wins, one draw, and two defeats across their last five matches, scoring six goals and conceding seven. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 Nations League defeat to Croatia, and their World Cup campaign produced a 3-0 loss to Mexico and a 2-1 reverse against South Korea. A 1-1 draw with South Africa and a 3-1 friendly win over Guatemala complete the run, pointing to a side that has struggled for consistency.
England's recent record tells a different story. Tuchel's side have won four of their last five, with their only defeat coming against Argentina at the World Cup semi-final stage. Their most recent result was a 6-4 win over France in the quarter-finals, a match that underlined both their attacking output and some defensive vulnerability. Across those five games, England scored 14 goals and conceded seven, though a 3-2 defeat to Spain in their Nations League opener is the most relevant data point heading into Prague.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides came at Euro 2020, where England won 1-0. The head-to-head record across the four listed meetings favours England, who also claimed a 5-0 win in a 2019 European Championship qualifier at Wembley, though Czechia did beat them 2-1 in the reverse fixture in Prague later that year. A 2-2 friendly draw in 2008 rounds out the dataset, giving England the stronger overall record in the series.
Standings
In UEFA Nations League Group A3, Czechia currently sit fourth and England third, meaning both sides are under early pressure to pick up points in Prague.
