FOUR OF THE BEST
MOTD Live: FIFA World Cup 2022 BBC1, 6pm

The last time the two teams met was in a friendly in 2020, when goals from Dominic Calvert-lewin, Conor Coady and Danny Ings secured a 3-0 win for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions at Wembley Stadium. However, with Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey were unavailable for the Welsh that night, and if they play this evening, their experience could be vital for Rob Page’s men.
