England will face France in the World Cup quarter-finals if they progress past Senegal this evening. Gareth Southgate's side face a last-16 knockout tie against Aliou Cisse's African Cup of Nations winners on Sunday evening but face a tough test to get further if they do get through.
The Three Lions topped their group after beating Wales and Iran either side of a 0-0 draw against USA and ended with the best record of any side in the tournament. They're looking to keep up a brilliant major tournament set of results under Southgate that has seen them reach the final of Euro 2020 and the semi-finals of Russia 2018 four years ago.
Southgate is yet to lose a knockout tie inside normal time having gone out in extra time against Croatia in 2018 and lost out to Italy on penalties at the Euros. World champions France lay in wait for the winners of England vs Senegal though after Didier Deschamps' side beat Poland 3-1.
