England will take on African champions Senegal in the second knockout match at the FIFA World Cup.

Despite the 2022 World Cup being marred by human rights abuses, migrant worker deaths and an uneasy truce between tourist expectations and Qatari law, British fans are abuzz with hope.

England sit on top of the tournament scoring charts with nine goals and finished top of Group B.

The winner of the match will take on France/Poland in the quarter-finals on December 10.
