England are preparing for their first fixtures of 2024 - the year which could quite possibly end all those years of hurt.
Gareth Southgate's men will go to Germany this summer as favourites to win the European Championship and lift their first major trophy since 1966.
While the likes of France, Spain and Germany will have something to say about that, there's no doubt England boast their strongest team for a number of years and are a force to be reckoned with.
Unlike Euro 2020, which permitted a 26-man squad in case of Covid withdrawals, this summer's tournament will see Southgate pick just 23 players.
