England will face African opposition in the knockout rounds of a World Cup for only the second time today when they take on Senegal at the Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.

Not since 1990 and the famous meeting with Cameroon have the Three Lions taken on a team from Africa in such a winner-takes-all clash – and since then England have only won three knockout ties inside 90 minutes at any World Cup.

But Gareth Southgate’s side have ended several long waits for England fans in recent years and can take a step closer to ending the mother of all droughts with victory in this evening’s kick-off.

Fans perhaps have a tricky decision on how to watch tonight’s match, deciding between the Sunday night pub session and the calmer surroundings of the living room

Gareth Southgate’s side head into the match after an ultimately comfortable 3-0 over Wales on Tuesday, which provided an ideal tonic to a frustrating goalless draw with the USA on November 25.

Aliou Cisse’s team finished Group A with six points from three games after following up a 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands with 3-1 and 2-1 victories over Qatar and Ecuador to book their place in the last 16.

Is it coming home? It’s far too early to tell at the moment.
