Manchester United defenders Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw start for England in their first World Cup match against Iran. Kick-off is at 1 pm.
Marcus Rashford has been named on the bench, so may feature later in the game to contribute his attacking threat and secure the three points for the Three Lions.
Despite his lack of game time for the club, Maguire has always been a key player for his national team and has been instrumental to England’s progression at their last two major tournaments; reaching the semi-final at the World Cup in 2018 and the Euro 2020 final.
Shaw also netted a goal in the Euros final and opened the scoring on the night. The two, along with the rest of the backline, conceded just two goals across the campaign.
England set sights on glory
The Reds will be looking to take it one step further this year and lift the lucrative trophy in Qatar.
