England's World Cup got off to an excellent start on Monday, with Bukayo Saka's brace helping the Three Lions to a 6-2 win against Iran in their Group B encounter.
The win gives England an excellent platform from which to launch their campaign in Qatar as they face the USA in their second fixture on Friday evening. The USMNT drew their first match against Wales, with Chelsea's Christian Pulisic assisting the opener for Timothy Weah before Gareth Bale levelled the scores with a late penalty.
Now they face England, who will be buoyed by their impressive opening day performance but face some injury concerns heading into the match. The main problem faced by Gareth Southgate will be the the fitness of captain Harry Kane, who suffered an ankle injury in the opening match before playing on for a further 25 minutes.
