Things To Watch Out For

• England scored only four goals in their last six games, which is not an excellent sign for manager Gareth Southgate; he will look to play aggressive football with the attacking options that England has in their squad. In contrast, Iran has six goals in their previous six matches.
• Harry Kane won the golden boot in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and will want to continue his top form for England at the 2022 World Cup. He will lead his country at the FIFA World Cup for the second time in Qatar. His form during the World Cup will be essential for England to reach the top four again. 
• Iran missed the knockout segment of the tournament by one point only in the previous World Cup. They could end up being the dark horses of the group this time.
