Had the coronavirus pandemic not swept the world, Euro 2020 would be getting underway this evening in Rome as Italy took on Turkey.

But due to the global outbreak and subsequent devastation COVID-19 has caused, the tournament has now been moved to 2021.

But that doesn’t stop us from looking at what could have been - a festival of international football as opposed to the flood of Premier League action we are set to get over the next six weeks - all behind closed doors.

And for the dedicated statisticians among you, here’s how it would have played out…
