Wales vs England - World Cup: Team news, lineups & prediction

Wales and England will face off at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday in their final group game at this World Cup, with both sides keen to end on the strongest note possible.

The game is a must-win for Rob Page’s Wales side, who would need to gain three points and pull off a remarkable swing in goal difference in order to progress from Group B.

Bench: Pope, Ramsdale, Walker, Alexander-Arnold, Dier, Coady, White, Bellingham, Philips, Saka, Gallagher, Grealish, Sterling, Wilson, Maddison.

England to win – England have won each of their last six games against Wales, scoring 11 goals in that run and conceding only one, a Gareth Bale free-kick at EURO 2016.
