World Cup 2022 Live Updates: England vs. Iran England are the favorite to win Group B, but Iran is determined to make it to the World Cup knockout stage for the first time.
England vs. Iran Live Scorecard, Group B, FIFA World Cup 2022: Gareth Southgate has fielded a more attacking lineup than usual, possibly as a corrective measure after their recent poor results with the back five – they are winless in six games.
The four-man defense allows Mason Mount to come into midfield, where he will look to work the spaces with Jude Bellingham to create more effective attacks, with Declan Rice as the pivot. It’s a lineup that has been influenced by the opposition, and Iran is unlikely to keep much of the ball.
