England take on Senegal in the World Cup Round of 16 this evening (7pm kick-off) and Graham Potter will have a firm eye on the match for various reasons. Of course, Potter being an Englishman himself, he will naturally be cheering on his country to progress to the next round as the Three Lions bid for their first World Cup trophy since 1966.
However, there are a host of other reasons Potter will be tuning in to watch the match as England take on Senegal for the first time ever. Unlikely, but there could be five Chelsea players on the field at one point this evening in Qatar.
Conor Gallagher, who is yet to play a single minute, is the one player who looks unlikely to feature but four other Blues stars could be on the field. Kalidou Koulibaly, who netted the dramatic winner to ensure Senegal progressed from the group stages, looks set to start for the African side. Edouard Mendy will play in goal as he looks to keep England out this evening.
