Team Analysis
England
Gareth Southgate’s men have so far been one of the best teams in the tournament so far with a dominant group stage performance. The Three Lions have managed to dominate opposing defences with a variety of attacking talent including the likes of Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden, Harry Kane, etc. Their midfield with young stars like Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham has been one of the best in the World Cup supported by solid defence where Harry Maguire has emerged as the top performer.

Pickford (GK); Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Henderson, Bellingham; Rashford, Kane (C), Foden
Senegal
On the other hand, Senegal had a turbulent start to their World Cup as they were without Sadio Mane, who was ruled out from the tournament. Then they lost their opening game and everything looked bleak. But since then the Lions of Terenaga have found their rhythm and won back-to-back games. Their defence has looked solid led by Kalidou Koulibaly while the midfield and attack have taken up the responsibility to carry the load created by Mane’s absence.
