We’re reaching the business end of the World Cup as the final day of group stage play will begin for Groups A and B. Seven of the eight teams in action have a chance at advancing to the last 16 except Qatar who have become only the second host nation ever to be eliminated from the World Cup during the group stage along with South Africa in 2010. But although they don’t have a shot, expect them to still play hard in front of their home faithful. It is also a win or go home match for the United States as they need to defeat Iran to book a spot in the last 16.

What to know: All England needs is a draw to advance to the last 16. and despite disappointment last time out against the United States, they should be able to manage that. Wales will be without Wayne Hennessey after his red card against Iran, but Danny Ward is no stranger to the competition given his time between the sticks for Leicester City. Gareth Southgate will need to make important decisions on rotation while still going for the win with players like Harry Kane struggling for fitness. That said, England will have enough depth to pull out a victory while mixing the squad up.
