Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand went with a tried and tested starting lineup for Saturday's European Championship quarter-final match against the Czech Republic in Baku, naming an unchanged team from the one that beat Wales 4-0 in the last-16.
Mikkel Damsgaard will again take playmaker Christian Eriksen's role, on his own 21st birthday. Denmark is once again expected to line up with a back-three of Andreas Christensen, Jannik Vestergaard and captain Simon Kjaer at the heart of the backline, while Joakim Maehle and Jens Stryger are on the flanks as wing-backs.
The Czech Republic made one change to their lineup with Jan Boril returning at left-back. Patrik Schick, who has four goals and is one shy of Cristiano Ronaldo's tally for top scorer in the tournament, will lead their attack. TEAMS
