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

  People cry and moan that Soutgate didn't pick the exact team they would have, and then he puts them in the mud. Every time.

The BBC will not air any celebrations from todays result.

Instead they will show a documentary from Amnesty International about climate change.

      Actually here it is from the source mate....
      
      During the group stage, one transfer can be carried over into the next group stage matchday however, due to the unlimited transfer limit between the last game of Matchday 3 and the start of the Round of 16 you will not be able to carry a transfer over at this stage.

  Upgrade on Phillips for sure - Phillips was great at the euros but he's not going to score many, Bellingham surely will and will play more forward balls

When Maguire is the player with the most number of chances you know that Iran is not one of the best teams.

    Doesn't suit their system.
    
    Maguire was great under Ole. If he was fit for the Europa Final, Ole would have won it for sure.
    
    But he doesn't fit a Rangnick or Ten Hag team. He's left to defend huge amounts of space. Not his game.
    
    Superb for England.
