Mourinho: My four Euro 2020 semi-finalists

Jose Mourinho thinks England, Spain, Italy and Denmark will be the four semi-finalists at Euro 2020.

Friday's games will see Switzerland take on Spain in St. Petersburg, while Belgium face Italy in Munich.

Czech Republic and Denmark travel to Azerbaijan on Saturday before England challenges Ukraine at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

Asked for his predictions for the quarter-final ties, former Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Mourinho told talkSPORT: "Let me give you my view.

"England for sure. Czech Republic v Denmark will be a difficult one but I will say Denmark. Belgium v Italy, that's a big one, a really big one. I will say Italy.

"Switzerland v Spain is also a big one but Granit Xhaka is not playing and they need him so Spain will go through.

When aressed on England's chances as they bid to win the European Championships for the first time in history, Mourinho added: "I think so. Football is coming home. The final is at Wembley and England will be playing in it."
