Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds classic 'Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)' is back up to number four in the UK singles chart.

Iconic England supporters' track 'Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)' is back inside the top five of the UK singles chart amid the side's remarkable run at Euro 2020.

Gareth Southgate's men will face off against Italy at Wembley on Sunday night in what will be the side's first major tournament final since their triumph at the World Cup in 1966.

As a result a flurry of football songs make it into this week's chart, with the Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds track up to number four, according to figures from The Official Charts Company.

'Vindaloo' from Fat Les re-enters the chart at 36, Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' is at 48 some 50 years after its original release and new track 'Ole (We Are England)' from Krept & Konan, S1lva and M1llions opens at 59.

New Order's 'World In Motion' also makes a re-appearance, charting at 61, while Atomic Kitten's reworking of 'Whole Again' as 'Southgate You're The One (Football's Coming Home Again)' debuts at 86.

Elsewhere, Ed Sheeran stays top of the chart with his 'Bad Habits' and on the albums chart, Olivia Rodrigo is back on top with Sour, which claims its sixth week at number one.
