England are once again on a mission to bring football home, and this year, they stand a solid chance of breaking the 58-year drought.

The Three Lions, under Gareth Southgate's leadership, experienced a heart-wrenching loss in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, falling to Italy in a penalty shootout. However, they're now aiming to go one step further.

Despite the absence of starting centre-back Harry Maguire due to a calf injury, England remains the bookies' favourite to hoist the trophy.

Notable omissions from the final 26-man squad include Marcus Rashford, James Maddison, Raheem Sterling, and Jack Grealish. In their place, several tournament newcomers have been selected. Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon, Kobbie Mainoo, and Adam Wharton are among the 12 players making their major tournament debut for England.

As England prepares to face Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia in Group C, these fresh faces will be eager to make their mark. The first match against Serbia marks the start of the tournament later this week.

Under Southgate's guidance, England has consistently reached at least the quarter-finals in every major international tournament. As this is likely his last competition as manager, the team will be aiming to end his tenure on a high note.

As the kick-off time approaches, here's how you can tune in.
