England - Iran Preview

 After a rather delicate period, England has been back on the world stage for four years now. Semi-finalist of the last World Cup and finalist of Euro 2021, this team regularly proves that it is a candidate for a first major title since its world title obtained in 1966. 

The Three Lions qualified for this World Cup without too much trouble thanks to their first-place finish in the qualifiers, but paradoxically they have had problems in their Nations League group.

 Unable to score a single win against Hungary, Italy or Germany (3 draws, 3 defeats), they were logically relegated to the B league of the Nations League. In September, the English were beaten by Italy 1-0 before drawing 3-3 with Germany, which left their team in doubt before the World Cup.

Iran is used to participating in the World Cup finals, having taken part in the 1998, 2006, 2014 and 2018 finals. Iran has never been able to get out of its group. The 22nd-ranked nation in the FIFA rankings has not been spoiled by the draw and is still facing a tough task. 

To reach Qatar, Team Melli finished top of their qualifying group ahead of Iraq and Bahrain with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

England Iran squad 

The Three Lions will have their starting goalkeeper Pickford  back, who was injured in the last round of matches. 

The two Chelsea full-backs, James and Chilwell, are out of the squad for the World Cup, while Sancho (Manchester United), Tomori (AC Milan) and Abraham (AS Roma) are also out. As for Manchester City's Walker (70 days) and Phillips (23 days), they have boarded the plane to Qatar after raising questions.

 The former is doubtful and his team-mate has recovered from his injury. It is also worth noting that Maddison (Leicester, 1 sel) is likely to be absent from the first match. Southgate's vice-captain Henderson and striker Rashford  were not called up by Southgate in September and are back in the squad for the global event. Stones , the much-maligned Maguire  and piston Alexander-Arnold  are also in the squad. Kane , the Three Lions' leading active scorer, Sterling  and the promising Foden , Saka  and Bellingham ), the only English player to play abroad, will feed the attacking sector during the World Cup.
