Arsene Wenger makes England World Cup prediction with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo point

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has predicted that England will go far in the 2022 World Cup but doesn't believe they will win it.

England kick-off the World Cup campaign tomorrow afternoon against Iran (1pm) at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha in the first of what they hope to be a long run in the Middle east this month. Gareth Southgate's men are fourth favourites to lift the famous trophy on December 18, according to Sky Bet, after reaching the semi-finals four years ago in Russia.

The Three Lions went a step further two years later in the European Championships when they fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat to Italy in the final. Now, England possesses an array of talent in all areas of the pitch and will have to overcome strong competition from Brazil, Argentina and France to win their first World Cup since 1966.
