​England are set to face Norway in a high-stakes World Cup quarter-final on Saturday at Miami Stadium. The Three Lions head into the knockout stage in superb form, having remained unbeaten throughout the tournament so far. Under Thomas Tuchel, the team has shown impressive attacking efficiency, averaging 2.2 goals per game while conceding just one.
Their campaign has included a commanding 4-2 win over Croatia, a controlled 2-1 victory against DR Congo, and a dramatic 3-2 win over Mexico after being reduced to ten men. Tuchel has also been given a significant boost ahead of this clash, with three key players returning from injury and back in full training. Declan Rice, Marc Guéhi, and Reece James are all available for selection again. Rice has recovered from a serious illness that had sidelined him, Guéhi has returned from a hamstring issue suffered against Mexico, and James has resumed full-contact training following a substantial injury earlier in the tournament.
Nevertheless, England still face some selection headaches. Jarell Quansah will miss the match after receiving a red card, serving the first game of a two-match ban. In addition, experienced midfielder Jordan Henderson has been ruled out of the tournament due to a broken wrist.
Possible England starting XI: Pickford; Spence, Konsa, Burn, O’Reilly; Rice, Anderson; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane. The quarter-final is scheduled to kick off at 10pm BST on Saturday, 11 July. In the UK, fans can watch England vs Norway live on ITV1, with the game offered free of charge.
