  • PRVW
    Just under ten minutes from kick-off here in Doha, the tension already building...
  • PRVW
    Deschamps matches Southgate's tactics, making no changes from the stellar performance against Poland. That front three of Giroud, Mbappe and Dembele will surely be England's worst nightmare.
  • PRVW
    France starting XI: Lloris, Hernandez, Upamecano, Varane, Kounde, Rabiot, Tchouameni, Griezmann, Mbappe, Giroud, Dembele.
  • PRVW
    No surprises in Southgate's team, as he names no changes from the 3-0 win against Senegal. A strong line-up for the Three Lions...
  • PRVW
    England's starting XI: Pickford, Walker, Shaw, Rice, Stones, Maguire, Henderson, Kane, Saka, Foden, Bellingham
  • PRVW
    Stay tuned as we will bring you the line-ups as soon as possible for this belter of a tie...!!
  • PRVW
    France will be looking to build on their recent good form, as they look to defend their title from last time out in Russia. Deschamps' men boast a lot of attacking threat, with eyes being firmly on the likely-battle between Mbappe and Walker down the flank.
  • PRVW
    England will be looking to get to back-to-back World Cup semi-finals tonight, after last year losing out to Croatia. Victory tonight would mean the Three Lions' would get to just their third semi-final in the competition's history.
