England are prioritising remaining at Wembley over a potentially easier last-16 opponent as they head into Tuesday’s crunch clash against the Czech Republic.
Victory would see England finish top of Group D, a scenario in which Gareth Southgate’s men would likely face a daunting last-16 clash against France, Portugal or Germany.
Finishing second, theoretically, would give England an easier passage into the quarter-finals with potential games against Group E sides Spain, Sweden, Slovakia or Poland.
