Bookies rate chances of Newcastle United's Nick Pope usurping Jordan Pickford at World Cup

Bookies have tipped Jordan Pickford to start England’s opening game at the 2022 World Cup, while Aaron Ramsdale edges Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope in the odds.

Everton goalkeeper Pickford is odds-on at 1/3 with Betfair to play between the sticks when England kick-off their World Cup campaign against Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium on November 21.

Pickford played every game at the 2018 World Cup and 2020 European Championships as the Three Lions reached the semi-final and final respectively. The 28-year-old has missed six internationals since England’s defeat on penalties against Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
