Sports Mole looks at how the squads of England and Senegal compare ahead of Sunday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

A place in the last eight of the 2022 FIFA World Cup is up for grabs in Sunday's meeting between England and Senegal at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Gareth Southgate's men cruised through the group stages of football's biggest tournament with seven points and a +7 goal difference from their three outings to qualify for the knockout phase.

On the other hand, Aliou Cisse's men had to scrape a 2-1 victory in their final group game against Ecuador last time out to finish second in Group A.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of England and Senegal weigh up against each other ahead of Sunday's contest.
