Group C's top two teams will collide on Saturday when leaders England take on Ukraine in their next Euro 2024 qualifier.

Ukraine team news
Midfielder Mykola Shaparenko withdrew from the squad through injury and will miss out alongside influential star Ruslan Malinovskyi, but there is a place for Everton's Vitaliy Mykolenko despite a recent injury scare.
The major boost for Ukraine is the return of talisman Oleksandr Zinchenko, who missed the last set of internationals through injury.
Ukraine predicted lineup vs England
Ukraine predicted lineup (4-3-3): Lunin; Konoplya, Zabarnyi, Krystov, Mykolenko; Stepanenko, Sydorchuk, Zinchenko; Yarmolenko, Vanat, Tsygankov
England team news
Bukayo Saka, Levi Colwill and Callum Wilson all missed training earlier in the week but the trio are understood to have attended a routine recovery session instead, so there should be no concerns for manager Gareth Southgate there.
Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both pulled out through injury, joining Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and John Stones on the treatment table, while Southgate opted against calling up Raheem Sterling.
England predicted lineup vs Ukraine
England predicted lineup (4-3-3): Pickford; Walker, Guehi, Maguire, Chilwell; Rice, Bellingham, Maddison; Saka, Kane, Rashford
Ukraine vs England score prediction
While England's injury problems are severe, the Three Lions boast the depth to deal with it so there shouldn't be much of a drop-off from Southgate's side compared to the victory over Ukraine earlier this year.
Jude Bellingham's new-found superstardom and resurgences from the likes of Declan Rice and James Maddison should give England too much firepower against a Ukraine side without one of their top stars in Malinovskyi.
Expect a routine victory for England.
Prediction: Ukraine 0-3 England
