England v France: Preview.

France are the favourite for Saturday’s match and with good reason. Didier Deschamps’ team are world champions and have performed to a high standard in the tournament so far. They also have Kylian Mbappé in their team.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward has been the best player in the tournament so far, scoring five goals and registering two assists. Mbappe is bending games to his will and will take a lot to stop.

England, meanwhile, have yet to be tested by elite opposition. Yet, if they can find a way past France, they will arguably never have a better opportunity to win a second World Cup.
