England will be one of the favourites for the World Cup, which starts in just over two months’ time.

The Three Lions have been getting progressively better in major tournaments under Gareth Southgate. They finished fourth at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, before narrowly missing out to Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 final.

England fans will be hoping 2022 is the year the nation finally gets over their hoodoo and ends their long wait for a major trophy.

The Three Lions have a number of talented players, but the XI that starts against Iran in their opening game of the 2022 World Cup is far from certain.
