Manchester United and Manchester City stars could feature for England against Sweden

Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard & Victor Lindelof and Manchester City duo Kyle Walker & Raheem Sterling should feature as England and Sweden meet in the World Cup quarter-finals at 3pm. The two nations lock horns at the Samara Arena, with England the favourites to reach the semi-finals.

Gareth Southgate’s men finished second in Group G with six points from three games, beating Tunisia 2-1 and Panama 6-1, before losing 1-0 to Belgium. In the last-16, England beat Colombia on penalties after drawing 1-1 at the Spartak Stadium. Striker Harry Kane has been largely to thank for their success, with the Tottenham Hotspur forward scoring six goals in three outings.
