The winner of the Premier League with Blackburn said in an analysis for "BBC" that "Perfidious Albion" will celebrate with a score of 2:0.

Serbia and England will meet on Sunday at 21:00 CET in the first round of Group C at the EURO.

"Serbia have talented strikers, but I expect England to have the strength for them and start the EURO with a clean sheet," Sutton said, adding:

"I like what England coach Gareth Southgate has done this time. He has done some things differently than in previous tournaments and he has selected players based on form. I like that approach, but now he has to play with the players he has selected and find a place for Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, hopefully it will work."

Sutton does not believe that England will repeat the success of the last EURO, when they played in the final.

"I predicted that England would reach the semi-finals, where they would lose to France. I hope I'm wrong, but that's how the draw goes if both teams top the group and continue to go on. That's how I see it ending," said Sutton.

Sutton, by the way, does not have much faith in the Croatian national selection either.
