Ex- England international and Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has named three Gunners players in his ideal Three Lions starting 11 for their World Cup opening game against Iran.
Expections are high for Gareth Southgate's side as they look to go one better than their showing at Euro 2020 where they were runners-up and win the tournament outright. Fans and pundits alike have had their say over how far they think England can progress, especially after the manager named his 26-man squad.
In truth, sterner tests than Iran await England over the course of the group stage let alone the rest of the competition, with the USA and Wales making up the other two teams in Group B. However, Southgate will be desperate to start as he means to go on.
