England and France will go head-to-head for a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup this weekend.
The Three Lions comfortably beat Senegal 3-0 in the last 16, while Les Bleus dispatched Poland 3-1 to set up a mouth-watering quarter-final clash.
The defending world champions have an in-form Kylian Mbappe in their side and are determined to make it back-to-back World Cup titles.
But Gareth Southgate’s side are playing with great confidence, so they will feel they can continue their run and make it to the last four at France’s expense.

England v France: Squads and team news
England look set to be without two of their original 26-man squad.
Ben White flew home last week due to personal reasons, and Raheem Sterling also exited the squad to return to England after his house was burgled.
Meanwhile, France are without Lucas Hernandez and Karim Benzema from their original squad due to injury.
But they have a fully fit squad apart from that, so could name an unchanged XI from the one that beat Poland.

England v France: What has been said
Gareth Southgate is relishing England’s “acid test” against the reigning champions.
“We’ve got a brilliant tie, haven’t we?” the England boss said.
“The two quarter-finals are fabulous football nations, great history, couldn’t be more exciting.
“Our history is not quite as good as all the others, by the way, but we’re really pleased.
“I’ve just been told it’s the first time we’ve won knockout games in three consecutive tournaments.
“That’s another bit of history that this team has managed to achieve and we’ve got to keep trying to do that.”
Four years ago England’s World Cup dreams were extinguished at the semi-final stage with an extra-time loss to Croatia, which they followed up by reaching last year’s European Championship final.
Those runs underlined their progress but Southgate has always stressed the need to start beating elite nations on a regular basis if they are to become the best side in the world.
“You know, this is the acid test for us,” Southgate added. “We know it’s a step up from everything we’ve had so far.
“But the team have garnered so much experience in the last few years. They’re playing with confidence.
“We look threatening, we’re scoring goals, another clean sheet, which was really pleasing to see.
“So, we’re in a good place, but we know the level of the opposition as well.”
