England's journey to once again bring football home is to be determined this evening as the Euro 2024 draw is completed.<\/p>\n
FA chiefs and European football elite will gather at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany, where the six groups of teams are due to be decided.<\/p>\n
England head into the draw having completed a typically-impressive qualifying campaign, topping their group. Coupled with historic results, that is enough to see them into pot one for the draw.<\/p>\n
But they can still end up with a group of death, with the likes of Denmark, Netherlands, Croatia and Italy all spread out across pots two to four.<\/p>\n
Follow the draw as it happens right here. The festivities are due to kick off at 5pm.<\/p>\n
Pot 1<\/b> : Germany (hosts), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England <\/p>\n
Pot 2<\/b> : Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria <\/p>\n
Pot 3<\/b> : Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czechia <\/p>\n
Pot 4<\/b> : Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, Play-off winner A, Play-off winner B, Play-off winner C <\/p>\nScotland also wait for their opponents<\/h3>\n
Scotland will also be awaiting their fate as they are qualified in pot three while Wales can still make it via the play-offs next March with three remaining places in pot four.<\/p>\n
It could mean that England could yet get a Battle of Britain in the ceremony which will be presented as a 50 minute TV show for viewers around Europe but the draw is only supposed to last 20 minutes which will be a departure from the long, drawn out affairs of recent years.<\/p>\n
Southgate said: “There look like being really strong teams in pot two and pot three looks like it could be very strong.<\/p>\n
“In the last Euros we had Croatia in with us, who proved to be one of the best teams in the world over the last few years and we managed to navigate that so we've just got to be ready for whatever comes our way.”<\/p>\n
