Kyle Walker is not fit enough to start for England this evening but is hoping to mark his return in the second match. Harry Kane, the England skipper, will lead the attack with Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka on the wings. Marcus Rashford has been in good form with Manchester United and is an important option coming from the bench. Declan Rice is the one that makes the side tick with his passing range and Mason Mount and Jude Bellingham should make the attacking runs from the center.

Omid Ebrahimi and Sardar Azmoun are not likely to play any part in the opening game for Iran due to fitness problems. Vahid Amiri is the key man in the attack for Iran and could utilize his raw pace to carve out openings for Mehdi Taremi. Majid Hosseini at the heart of defense has his task cut out as he comes up against one of the best-attacking teams on the planet. FIFA World Cup 2022 Points Table Updated Live: Ecuador Down Hosts Qatar to Top Group A After Opening Match.
