Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022: England vs. Iran
It is a Fifa 23 Match!
England’s latest quest for major tournament glory begins with their World Cup 2022 opener against Iran in Group B at the Khalifa International Stadium on Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, their opponents are competing on the biggest global stage for the third time in a row but are facing an uphill battle to finally progress beyond the group stage.
Team News:
England and Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has already admitted that Monday’s game might come too soon for him as he battles back from groin surgery, while James Maddison missed training earlier this week to manage his workload following an injury scare last weekend.
The Leicester City man was never expected to feature from the first whistle here, though, and Kieran Trippier should be given the nod on the right in Walker’s absence, while the age-old question of whether Southgate will line up with a back three or back four is already being asked.
Rice and Kalvin Phillips formed an effective midfield partnership at Euro 2020, but the latter’s lack of game time following shoulder surgery could tempt Southgate into selecting fan favourite Jude Bellingham for the opening matchday.
As for Iran, experienced midfielder Omid Ebrahimi is the most notable absentee from their squad due to a groin injury, but Bayer Leverkusen striker Sardar Azmoun is part of the team despite tearing a calf muscle last month.
It would be a shock to see Azmoun considered for a start here, but Queiroz has another established centre-forward in Porto’s Mehdi Taremi ready to shoulder the goalscoring burden, and he should be supported by a familiar name in Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
Ehsan Hajsafi will wear the captain’s armband as he prepares to make his 122nd appearance for Team Melli, while Brentford’s Saman Ghoddos should be content with a place on the bench.
England possible starting lineup:
Pickford, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Rice, Bellingham, Sterling, Saka, Foden, Kane
Iran possible starting lineup:
Beiranvand, Moharrami, Pouraliganji, Hosseini, Mohammedi, Nourollahi, Ezatolahi, Hajsafi, Jahanbakhsh, Taremi, Amiri
We say: England 3-1 Iran
