England and the Netherlands face off at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday, with a spot in the Euro 2024 final up for grabs.

The Three Lions progressed to the final four with a penalty-shootout victory over resolute Switzerland after the quarterfinal tie finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.

Gareth Southgate's side looked to be heading after when Breel Embolo gave Switzerland the advantage on 75 minutes, but, just as they did in the Round of 16 against Slovakia, they rallied and found an equaliser through Bukayo Saka's crisp strike.

Penalties were needed after the teams could not be separated after extra time and England were flawless in the shootout, scoring all five efforts while Manuel Akanji missed for Switzerland.

The beaten finalists at the 2020 tournament will now face the Netherlands after they came from behind to defeat Turkey.

The Turks, who enjoyed an impressive run to the quarterfinals, looked set to extend their stay in Germany when Samet Akaydin handed them the lead before halftime. But the Dutch turned the tide and progressed to their first Euros semifinal since 2004 thanks to two quick-fire goals in six second-half minutes, the first coming from Stefan de Vrij and the second being an own goal.

England vs. Netherlands confirmed lineups, starting 11, team news

For England, Luke Shaw made his long-awaited return from injury as he came on in the second half of the quarterfinal against Switzerland but Kieran Trippier keeps his starting place on the left flank.

Harry Kane was forced off in extra time on Sunday with an injury picked up during the game and has been short of his best despite two goals at Euro 2024. Nevertheless, Gareth Southgate keeps faith with his captain as expected.

The Three Lions welcome back Marc Guehi from his one-game ban despite Ezri Konsa impressed in his absence last time out.

England lineup (3-4-2-1): Pickford (GK) — Walker, Stones, Guehi — Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier — Foden, Bellingham — Kane.

Injuries: None.

Suspensions: None.

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman has stuck with the same starting line-up for both of his side's knockout games so far, but there could be a change in the offing.

Steven Bergwijn has been unimpressive on the right wing and loses his place to Donyell Malen, who bagged a quickfire brace in the last-16 against Romania.

With RB Leipzig's playmaking sensation Xavi Simons supporting behind Memphis Depay and Liverpool's Cody Gakpo posing a serious danger on the left wing, notching three goals in his five Euro 2024 outings, the Dutch have deployed a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation. Super-sub Wout Weghorst is the go-to option off the bench.

Netherlands lineup (4-3-3): Verbruggen (GK) —  Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake — Schouten, Simons, Reijnders — Malen, Depay, Gakpo.

Injuries: None.

Suspensions: None.
