Who could England play next?
From before the tournament began, England knew that they would play one of the teams from Group A if they were to make it into the next round.
With the Netherlands beating Qatar 2-0 as it stands and Senegal currently ahead against Ecuador, England will be keeping an eye on how the group finishes.
The Three Lions are aware that victory over Wales tonight will see them finish top of the group, which would mean Southgate’s team come up against the Group A runners up.

As things stand, this will be Senegal, while if England finish as runners up in their group, they will face the table toppers in Group A, which is currently the Netherlands.
However, if Ecuador can find an equaliser, they will go through in second place and be England’s potential next opponents.
And England will find out who they face in the last-16 tonight, if they are to qualify.
However, there is still a chance that Southgate’s team do not progress out of the group, with a loss to Wales throwing their place in the World Cup at doubt.
