Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes England will feel apprehensive going into the 2022 World Cup, with the draw on Friday revealing they could face a home nation in the group stage.
The Three Lions will play the USA, Iran and either Scotland, Ukraine or Wales. As a result of the draw, they avoided the likes of Germany, Uruguay and the Netherlands.
Neville, who won 85 caps for England, told Sky Sports: "We've seen it in recent tournaments, Wales as well, Scotland was a very difficult game in the last Euros and Wales we just nipped past a few years ago. But then Wales ended up going a lot further. Those games were challenging for England and always have been.
"We know what it means to the Welsh and Scottish and the Irish to play against England. That's not being disrespectful or arrogant we know it's just a huge fixture.
"It is for England as well but doesn't seem to carry that same level of dislike that comes with Welsh and Scottish fever towards England," he continued. "I'm looking forward to it, they've all got meaning to them, they are difficult games from an emotional perspective more than a football perspective and that does carry something of a problem for England.
"Certainly England would want to avoid playing a home nation, [it] just brings that complication you don't need. It's always been the same, you had it in Euro 96, Scotland should've beaten us then Gazza scores the incredible goal, they've always been difficult opponents, the emotion, the passion that the Welsh and Scottish fans bring. We have great fans with England as well but those two travel particularly well.
"Brilliant games for us to watch, that's the main thing. We've got great games to watch and it could be Ukraine as well, we shouldn't dismiss that they're still in with the hunt."
