England kick off their 2022 World Cup campaign against Iran on Monday at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Kick-off is at 13:00 GMT.

Gareth Southgate hands Bukayo Saka a start on the right wing for England, with Raheem Sterling lining up on the opposite flank. That means Phil Foden is named among the substitutes.

Elsewhere, Harry Maguire partners John Stones at the back in what is presumably a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 formation.

As expected, Kyle Walker and James Maddison are not fit enough to be involved.

For Iran, former Brighton and Hove Albion forward Alireza Jahanbakhsh is selected and is expected to feature in attack alongside dangerman Mehdi Taremi.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

England XI: Pickford, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Bellingham, Rice, Mount, Saka, Sterling, Kane

Iran XI: Beiranvand, Moharrami, Pouraliganji, Cheshmi, Hosseini, Mohammadi, Nourollahi, Karimi, Hajsafi, Jahanbakhsh, Taremi

England dont have a reliable defence in order to win the World Cup, attack is powerful but its not enough to win the trophy imo

  Defence is a weak spot that makes it less likely, but it's weird to have an opinion that something that's possible is impossible.

  They'll probably play a back 3 against better sides.

Not seeing Sosa in many predicted lineups and just subbed him on for Trippier.

Do you think he starts for Croatia?

Damn

    Because the rules are a shambles I have no idea, but it look like I cannot revert this now o will have to hope he starts.
    
    Only 1 point will be missed.

transfer hack done, Kane ---> Lewandowski vs Saudi Arabia next week, Telles ---> Blind vs Senegal today, not sure Telles plays and since its the last game i can't transfer him then to someone the same price for Brazil, just need Blind to outscore Dumfries now 🙂

  Kane for Lewandowski is a good choice. If SA somehow do OK against Argentina (highly unlikely), then maybe Bale instead of Lewandowski.

    Bale is an interesting punt, but its too late for me now the moves are done, although i could still use WC if i get any injuries

      Yeah, I think Lewandowski is the better decision anyway, you've probably made the right move.

    its not hack its part of the game, its just a way to earn more money for other transfers later in the gw, look how the above transfer works as an example

  How do you transfer someone who costs less for someone who costs more? (Is this what you are doing?)

    Kane(Locked) to Lewa, i keep Kanes points as this transfer only becomes active matchday 2 as kane played and is locked, that transfer left me 1m itb so i was able to transfer Telles(4.5m) to Blind(5.5m) both of whom hadn't played at the time of transfer and are unlocked so i get Blind's points this week but not Telles, the same concept works if you sell Kane to fodder, a different fodder in your team to premium

Imagine paying for tickets for this match and having to put up with this constant racquet around the stadium from these morons. Im only watching it on TV but on the verge of turning it off as its so annoying.

I have Di Maria, Martinez, Messi and Skov Olsen playing tomorrow. Sabiri 4.0 mid (0.5 million itb has his fixture on Wednesday. Supposing one of those 4 players blanks, I should sell him for a locked cheapie and buy someone decent mid from Brazil or Portugal to play for me this week?
