England take on Senegal in the World Cup 2022 Round of 16 with a growing weight of expectation on their shoulders.

The Three Lions entered the tournament with a degree of pessimism shrouding the side despite following Nations League relegation, despite making the Euro 2020 final.

However, emphatic victories over Iran and Wales, either side of a tepid yet solid draw with USA, paired with shock defeats for other potential champions have raised hopes of England going deeper into the competition than many had previously thought.

Marcus Rashford has bagged three goals in the tournament so far to put him joint-highest in the World Cup 2022 top scorers list, while Harry Kane has recorded the most assists at World Cup 2022 so far.

Senegal are without key man Sadio Mane for this tournament, though Ismaila Sarr and a strong supporting cast have made up for his absence.

Captain Kalidou Koulibaly scored the crucial goal to dispatch Ecuador and send the African nation cruising through to this encounter with Gareth Southgate’s England.
