England’s much-anticipated clash with France at the World Cup this weekend is akin to an "early final", according to former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The Three Lions face the French at Al Bayt Stadium at 7pm on Saturday in their biggest test of the tournament. Gareth Southgate’s side have kept three straight clean sheets and are the top scorers in Qatar, but know the defending champions pose a considerable challenge.
France beat Poland 3-1 in the previous round thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe, who leads the race for the Golden Boot with five strikes. The Paris Saint-Germain forward is the star of Didier Deschamps' side, but Wenger believes he is far from the only strength they possess.
