England U21 have looked menacing in their opening two group games of the tournament in Georgia and Romania, with Lee Carsley's young Lions already qualifying for the quarter-finals at the weekend. They will play Portugal in that game, which has already been confirmed ahead of their final group match.
Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey and Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe helped England beat Czech Republic 2-0 in their opening game of the tournament, before a goal from the latter and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon helped them achieve the same score line against Israel.
Germany, meanwhile, have fared a lot worse, and will need to beat England to keep their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive. A 1-1 draw against Israel to start with wasn't a disaster for them, but a 2-1 defeat to Czech Republic in their second game certainly was.
In order to make it out of the groups, Germany will need to beat England and hope that Czech Republic don't beat Israel - if they do, then the young side will be out.
Only James Trafford, Noni Madueke and Ben Johnson retain their places in England's starting XI from the side that beat Israel, with Lee Carsley opting to make wholesale changes to give his preferred players a rest. Tommy Doyle is the only outfield player in the squad not to make a start at the tournament as a result.
It's by no means weakened, though, with the likes of Harvey Elliott, Jacob Ramsey and Cameron Archer all coming into the line up. Strong performances will leave Carsley with a difficult decision to make in the quarters against Portugal.
Meanwhile, Brentford's January signing Kevin Schade leads the line for Germany, and will be hoping to score against England to give his nation the best chance at reaching the knockout rounds.
Kick off is at 5pm BST.
