What channel is England v Wales on? World Cup Group B match info, TV details, UK kick-off time, team news

England and Wales complete their World Cup group stage on Tuesday night when they face each other in Al Rayyan.

Neither had a great time in their second fixture on Friday. After a spirited second-half showing in their opening match to earn a 1-1 draw with USA, Wales fell to a 2-0 defeat to Iran, putting them in a tricky position going into the England encounter. Gareth Southgate’s men were involved in one of the most boring matches of the tournament, a 0-0 draw with the States, following their hammering of Iran in the opener.

England know they will progress with a draw and will top the group with all three points. There is talk Southgate will drop Jude Bellingham in favour of the experience of Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson in the midfield. The England boss has faced criticism for not using Manchester City star Phil Foden.

Wales have been told to put their “big boy pants on and get on with it” by manager Rob Paige after criticism received from the Iran loss. They need to win to have any chance of qualification. They could even win the group with three points, as long as Iran and USA draw.
