England will face British rivals Wales in their final game of the World Cup group stage and it will be live on talkSPORT.
The Three Lions breezed past Iran in their opening game before Team Melli beat Robert Page’s side 2-0 in dramatic fashion.
The Dragons are now on the brink of an early exit from their first World Cup in 64 years and they will need to beat Gareth Southgate’s men to have any chance of staying in the tournament.
England, meanwhile, played out a drab draw with USA in their second group game and will be eager to improve.
The two teams have faced off in a major competition before, meeting in the group stage of Euro 2016.
After Gareth Bale gave Wales the lead, a goal from Jamie Vardy and a late winner from former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge completed the turnaround.
Bale and co will be hoping they can put history behind them and pull off a major upset to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

England v Wales: Match facts
- England drew 0-0 with USA in their last World Cup match, taking their tally of goalless draws at the World Cup to 12, more than any other nation in World Cup history.
- Wales (D2 L5) are on a run of seven games without a victory in all competitions for the first time since May 2003 – November 2003 (D2 L5), last enduring a longer winless streak in between March 2000 and September 2001 (12).
- England have lost their third and final group stage game in just two of their 14 participations at the FIFA World Cup (W7 D5), doing so against Spain in 1950 and Belgium in 2018.
- This is England’s first ever FIFA World Cup match against a fellow British side. The Three Lions are unbeaten in all three games against other British teams at the UEFA European Championship (W1 D1 vs Scotland, W1 vs Wales).
- England have won each of their last six games against Wales, scoring 11 goals in that run and conceding only one, a Gareth Bale free-kick at EURO 2016. Wales’ last victory dates back to May 1984, courtesy of a Mark Hughes goal (1-0).
- Among the Wales players to complete 90 minutes in their two games against USA and Iran, Gareth Bale has had the fewest touches in both games (34 vs USA, 36 vs Iran), managing just two shots across the two matches, one of which was his penalty goal against the USA.
- After scoring an England calendar year record 16 goals in 2021, Harry Kane has only scored three times in 10 games in 2022, all from the penalty spot. Kane hasn’t scored with any of his 20 non-penalty shots in 2022 so far.
- Wales faced 21 shots in their 2-0 defeat against Iran, the third time in their last eight games they’ve faced 20+ shots, as many as in their previous 62 games combined. The last time they faced England at a major tournament, the Three Lions had exactly 20 shots in a 2-1 win at EURO 2016.
- England have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions (D4 L3), their fewest across an eight-game span since a run between October 2001 and June 2002 (also one win).
- Wales have failed to win either of their two matches at the 2022 World Cup, drawing with the USA and losing to Iran. They’ve never previously gone through a major tournament without winning at least once; they won once at the 1958 World Cup, four games at EURO 2016 and one game at EURO 2020.
