England take on minnows Iceland in last-16 clash at Euro 2016 in Nice on Monday evening.

VENUE

OGC Nice’s stadium was only opened in 2013 after a series of earlier projects to replace their old stadium failed to pan out. Once France was awarded Euro 2016, the construction of the stadium could take place.

The stadium opened with a 4-0 victory to Nice against Valenciennes on September 22, 2013. It can hold 35,624 fans, and during this summer’s tournament it will host three group stage games before one tie in the knockout rounds.

TEAM NEWS

ENGLAND

Roy Hodgson is set to recall under-fire Raheem Sterling. After making six changes against Slovakia, the England manager is ready to gamble again by picking Sterling ahead of Adam Lallana.

Daniel Sturridge is likely to fill the other wide role, with Harry Kane leading the line. Hodgson will also revert to the central midfield trio of Rooney, Dele Alli and Eric Dier.

Full backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, rested for the game against Slovakia, will also be recalled.

ICELAND

Iceland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has no injury worried ahead of the match and is expected to name former Bolton and Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen as a substitute.

Initially categorised as a B team match only for the Icelandic football association to push for it to be classified as a full international after a fine draw. Ron Greenwood’s side fell behind at Laugardalsvollur in Reykjavik after 23 minutes to a goal from Arnor Gudjohnsen, father of former Chelsea striker Eidur. England avoided defeat thanks to a 69th-minute leveller by debutant Paul Goddard – his first international goal on his only international appearance. Steve Perryman also made his sole international appearance that day.

England gave their supporters a send-off to remember at the City of Manchester Stadium before they headed for Euro 2004. Sven-Goran Eriksson’s first-choice side went in at half-time with a three-goal lead thanks to a Wayne Rooney brace and a Frank Lampard effort, with Heidar Helguson pulling a goal back just before the interval. Darius Vassell netted twice once play resumed and Wayne Bridge completed the rout with his only international goal.
