Tonight there will be a classic between England and Germany in the European Championship round of 16.
How will national coach Joachim Löw line up?
Munich / London - When England meets Germany *, drama is always programmed.
The mother of all spectacles occurred at the 1966 World Cup with the legendary Wembley goal - and the worse end for Germany.
44 years later, the DFB team turned the situation around and benefited from Frank Lampard's failure to score at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
So what will happen in the 2021 European Football Championship *?
In any case, Joachim Löw's team is ready to write another chapter in the classic of world football.
At the press conference before the game, the national coach was combative, confident and “motivated to the tips of his hair.” But the 61-year-old still has various personal details to deal with before the European Championship round of 16 * on Tuesday evening in Wembley.
DFB: Line up against England with Goretzka and without a back three?
So Löw wants to get into the EM quarter-finals
First of all, the system question arises: back three or four?
Quite a few experts are calling for Löw to return to the usual system with four men in the back row.
The national coach will probably not be influenced by it.
That means: Germany will probably also play in 3-4-3 against the Three Lions.
In front of captain Manuel Neuer, who announced a joint protest action with the English on Monday *, Matthias Ginter and Mats Hummels will again defend. Who will be the third central defender in the group will only be decided shortly before kick-off because Antonio Rüdiger is struggling with a cold. Should the defender of FC Chelsea fail, Emre Can, Niklas Süle, Robin Koch or Marcel Halstenberg would be ready as the left part of the back three.
In midfield, Joshua Kimmich will again be the track player on the right lane, Toni Kroos is in the center, even if one or the other calls for a different cast *
In addition to Real-Star Kroos, Leon Goretzka should come to his first starting eleven at the EM.
Ilkay Gündogan is still suffering from the consequences of a bruised skull from the Hungary game, which is why his assignment is not yet secured.
Germany versus England: line up!
Löw probably relies on Goretzka and Müller
On the left, Robin Gosens has so far mostly been able to convince, but the Italian legionnaire has also caught a flu-like infection.
The final decision on its use will probably only be made later in the day.
With Christian Günter from SC Freiburg a replacement would be ready.

Thomas Müller has overcome his capsule injury from the Portugal game and is available in top shape.
The 31-year-old is still waiting for his very first goal at a European Championship, maybe he'll succeed against England?
Müller will definitely return to the starting XI, Leroy Sané will have to give way for him.
Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry should complete the attacking trio of the DFB.
The expected line-up of the DFB team in the European Championship round of 16 against England:
Neuer - Ginter, Hummels, Rüdiger (Can) - Kimmich, Goretzka, Kroos, Gosens (Günter) - Havertz, Gnabry, Müller
