England vs Italy
Gareth Southgate's men are preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime fixture with the Three Lions having reached the major final of an international tournament for the first time since 1966.
As such, thousands upon thousands of supporters have been seen gathering in various London locations such as Leicester Square and Wembley Stadium itself mere hours before kick off.
However, worrying footage appears to indicate that fans are attempting to storm the famous stadium, leading to potential security breaches as the historic clash with Italy approaches.

Worrying scenes at Wembley
The Mirror have reported that a group of fans have tried to gain access to Wembley Stadium and that security cordons had been broken down in order to achieve this goal.
It's claimed that further metal barriers have been installed to try and halt the progress of supporters, while Sky Sports News are said to be claiming that the security breach has been halted.
The Daily Mail went one step further and claimed that England fans had successfully entered the grounds of the stadium with security staff chasing after them.
Official statement released
According to beINS SPORTS, UEFA released the following statement: "Fans have been jumping over barriers but there has been no access to the stadium so there is no concern any protocol has to come into place in which the stadium will be shut down and there is no concern the final will not go ahead."
The Daily Star claimed that a Wembley spokesperson added: "We are dealing with an incident that occurred at the outer perimeter area of the stadium, with support from police.
