England v France head-to-head

England have beaten France 17 times in their 31 meetings, but it’s the 2018 World Cup champions that have won five of the eight matches since 1999.

Two of those matches were draws, while England won 2-0 in a friendly in 2015.

England tactics against France

One of the big questions surrounding England is whether they will stick with the 4-3-3 formation they have used throughout the tournament in Qatar, or revert to three at the back with two wing-backs.

The latter was used by Southgate in England’s 2-0 win over Germany at last year’s European Championship.

Gary Neville believes Walker is the perfect player to go up against Mbappe.

“I think we’ve got the best right-back in the world to deal with Mbappe,” he said.

“In terms of physicality, pace and experience, I couldn’t think of anyone better than Kyle Walker to match Mbappe.

“That’s not to say he will keep him quiet for 90 minutes because Mbappe is sensational. He’s so special.

“But we have a chance because we have a player there who can match him in certain areas.”
