Script:

Fans of England and Ukraine started gathering in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Tuesday morning ahead of their final Euro 2012 Group D encounter.

Ukraine require a win to progress through to the knock out stages, while a point will be enough to see their English opponents go through.

Despite Ukranian fans heavily outnumbering their English opponents, the visiting fans remained optimistic about their chances of progressing to the next round.

SOUNDBITE (English) Dean Mason, English supporter:

"All we have to do is to draw, so at least that, a win would be better though. That is what I hope but you never know, Ukraine is the host country so there will be a lot of people behind them and anything can happen in football."

Ukranian fans will be hoping that veteran striker Andriy Shevchenko will be fit to play with doubts over a knee injury, while Wayne Rooney returns to the side following a three match suspension.
