Hosts are a threat
I remember playing Sweden in the final group game of Euro 92 and how tough it was facing the host nation. You cannot underestimate the effect that can have, so England must be mindful of that against Ukraine.
Yevhen Konoplyanka on the left wing and Andriy Yarmolenko on the right will cause problems, particularly Yarmolenko cutting in on to his left foot.
Having said that, their central defenders are a weak point - Zlatan Ibrahimovic bullied them - and they lack a really good playmaker in the middle of the park.
Wide threat: The likes of Yarmolenko could really hurt England
