Ukraine vs England: Numbers you need to know before their UEFA Euro 2020 encounter
There has been only one match between England and Ukraine in a major international tournament. The game in question was a Euro 2012 match that ended in a 1-0 victory for England and featured Ukraine's current manager Andriy Shevchenko.
With their 2-0 victory against Germany, England became only the second team in Euro history to keep clean sheets in the first four games of the competition. Italy did not concede a goal in their first five games at Euro 1990 and Southgate's men have the opportunity to equal the landmark against Ukraine.
Raheem Sterling has scored three of England's four goals at Euro 2020 so far and has been in good form this summer. Alan Shearer currently holds the record for the most goals for England in an edition of the Euros with five goals and Sterling may well surpass the legend this weekend.
Ukraine manager Andriy Shevchenko is a bonafide goalscoring legend and is his country's most prolific striker of all time with 48 goals. Andriy Yarmolenko is six goals behind at the moment with 42 goals and will likely surpass his manager in a few months' time.
