How to watch England U21s vs Germany U21s FOR FREE: TV channel and live stream for Euros clash today
England conclude their group-stage campaign at the European Under-21 Championship with a key showdown against Germany tonight.
It's not all been plain sailing for Lee Carsley's defending champions in Slovakia so far this summer, with a routine opening 3-1 victory over Czechia followed by a frustrating stalemate against Slovenia on Sunday.
Germany, meanwhile, have already qualified for the quarter-finals after successive big wins and will be confirmed as Group B table-toppers if they avoid defeat at Stadion pod Zoborom in Nitra this evening.
England will book their place in the last eight by avoiding defeat, while a win will take them through as group winners.
The Young Lions would also go through if they lost, provided Slovenia do not beat Czechia at the same time at MOL Arena in Dunajska Streda.
'We all know what this game is about and how much weight it carries, so we try and remove a bit of that for the players, but they have looked very focused,' Carsley said on Tuesday.
'We talk about the players having personality on the ball and getting the ball, because it is really important that in the biggest moments of the biggest games, that is what we are trying to prepare these players for.
'We still want to win the group, so that's the challenge that we set the players. We have shown in patches that we have been good, but we can definitely be better. The chances that we have created, but then didn't take [against Slovenia] is disappointing.'
TV channel: In the UK, tonight's match is being shown live and free-to-air on Channel 4, with coverage beginning at 7:30pm BST ahead of an 8pm BST kick-off time - 9pm local time - in Slovakia.
Live stream: You can also watch the game for free live online via the Channel 4 website.

Potential record deal puts Elliott's name back in the headlines as Albion are linked
Harvey Elliott, pictured with Yasin Ayari, could be on the move (Image: Simon Dack) Harvey Elliott's name is being linked with Albion again – after Liverpool clinched a record deal. The champions' move for Florian Wirtz will set them back an initial £100 million. That will become a British record £116 million if various clauses are met. Advertisement It also appears to affect Elliott's potential to play significant minutes for the Reds. Albion were believed to be interested in Elliott during the January transfer window and probably before that. That might at least partly explain why The Sun report him to be of interest to the Seagulls in the current window. He would command a sizeable fee and comes with some uncertainty over what he can produce in the Premier League on a consistent basis. But Elliott, who is currently with England under-21s at the Euros, has shown plenty of promise. He scored for Liverpool at the Amex towards the end of the season. Advertisement There is no suggestion that Albion have bid for Elliott but there is a theory the presence of his former Anfield mentor James Milner could help persuade the 22-year-old to move. Albion have an array of options in attacking midfield areas but plenty of outward activity is expected during the summer transfer window.

Nicolas Jackson apologises for sending off against Flamengo
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has apologised for his red card in the 3-1 Club World Cup loss to Flamengo. The 24-year-old was sent off for raking his studs down the shin of Lucas Ayrton just four minutes after coming on as Enzo Maresca's side collapsed in the second half. Advertisement 'I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my team-mates, and all the fans watching, I let you down,' said Jackson, who was sent off against Newcastle in their third-last Premier League match. 'Another red card… And honestly, I'm so angry at myself. I work hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation. 'I still don't fully understand how it happened. But one thing is clear: it wasn't intentional. Just a moment in football that went the wrong way. 'No excuses. I take full responsibility. I'll reflect, I'll grow, and I'll come back stronger for the badge and for everyone who believes in me. Advertisement 'Sorry. Sorry, Sorry.' When Maresca was asked about Jackson's challenge and his recent indiscipline he told DAZN: 'It was a red card, so nothing to say.' However, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella admitted it was something the 24-year-old had to improve. 'He is young player, he has a lot of quality, he maybe needs to improve this a little bit. We are here to improve, we are not perfect so it is part of the game,' he said. The Blues were leading through Pedro Neto's 13th-minute strike but after second-half goals from Bruno Henrique and Danilo in quick succession Jackson saw red and Wallace Yan scored the Brazil side's third. Advertisement Maresca put the damaging defeat down to 'trying something new' for next season. 'It completely changed the game. Unfortunately we conceded two goals in a short moment and then the red card and then I think it is complicated to get back into the game,' the Chelsea boss added. 'We tried – but congratulations to them. They deserved to win. 'We tried to do something different in the game, for next season and for the future.'
