The reigning champion, England, will look to defend their crown when they take on the five-match unbeaten Germany in a high-stakes Euro U21 Final on Saturday.

The Three Lions are coming into this match after picking up a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the semi-final clash. Liverpool's Harvey Elliott scored an impressive brace, scoring in the 62nd minute and 86th minute to seal the match for England. 

England are set to play their second consecutive Euro U21 Final under their manager, Lee Carsley, aiming to become the first team since Spain in 2013 to retain their European championship. The defending champions ended at second place in Group B of the tournament and currently have lost just one match in their last 12 outings. Their only defeat came against their opponents, Germany, in the group where they fell 1-2 in a thrilling showdown. 

On the other end, Germany edged past 3-0 France in the semi-final to book their berth in the final match. Germany has been in red-hot form in the competition, winning all five of their matches so far, including a thrilling victory over their fellow finalists in the group campaign.

For the second time in the last three years, Germany has booked their spot in the final of the U21 European Champions, winning their third title in 2021 after beating Portugal 1-0 in the final match. 

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
