England’s reward for topping Group B is a testing round of 16 match against Senegal. The Lions of Teranga may have come runners-up in Group A and are without star player Sadio Mané, but the Three Lions would be wise not to underestimate their African opposition.
They may be the favorites, but England are by no means guaranteed to progress to the quarter-final. Gareth Southgate received intense criticizm for his side’s timid approach against the USA, and England’s defense has looked vulnerable at times. Senegal have the quality to hurt any team in this tournament. And they displayed that against Ecuador, showing that when the pressure is on they can dig deep to turn a game on its head.
England vs Senegal looks primed to be an intense affair, one that could even require extra time and penalty kicks to determine a winner. It’s a match not to be missed, and we’ll show you how to watch an England vs Senegal live stream down below.

England vs Senegal preview
It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but England deserves credit for topping Group B. The group was statically the hardest at this World Cup — its four teams had the highest average FIFA ranking — and the Three Lions had to face both Wales and the USA, two teams that share a sporting rivalry with England. Wales especially would have loved to get one over on their noisy neighbors.
A 6-2 demolishing of Iran in the side’s opening match had the notoriously demanding English public dreaming, but a goalless draw with the USA raised concerns. However, a sparkling 3-0 defeat of Wales — which sent their old rivals packing — reminded the world of the real quality in England’s ranks. Now the pressure is on to match, or even better, the side’s semi-final placement at World Cup 2018.
Some England fans are already concerned about the possibility of facing France in the quarter-finals, but it would be a foolish mistake to write off Senegal so quickly. The Lions of Teranga are more than capable of eliminating this England side if the Three Lions don’t give them the respect they deserve.
When Senegal lost talisman figure, Sadio Mane, just days before the start of the tournament, many assumed that was a death knell for their chances of turning up any trees at this World Cup. But Senegal have been defiant and showed real quality beating both host nation Qatar and Ecuador to finish second in Group A. Far from one man team, Senegal can call upon the likes of Chelsea duo Kalidou Koulibaly and Édouard Mendy as well as Watford’s Ismaïla Sarr and Everton’s Idrissa Gueye. They should not be written off any under circumstances.
England vs Senegal could be one of the most open matches of the round of 16. The Three Lions might look like the obvious victors on paper, but Senegal are a side that looks primed to cause an upset and could inflict more World Cup pain on England. Be sure to tune in to an England vs Senegal live stream so you don’t miss a moment of the action.
England vs Senegal team news
Southgate makes just one change from the the team that beat Wales as Bukayo Saka comes back into the starting XI. Marcus Rashford drops to the bench despite scoring twice against Wales and also against Iran. Ben White flew home in midweek due to a personal emergency, and Raheem Sterling is also unavailable due to family reasons. Nevertheless it's a strong starting team with talent all over pitch.
Senegal are still without Sadio Mané, and will be for the rest of the World Cup. But the side that has already proved they don’t need to rely on the brilliance of one player to be successful. Idrissa Gueye is suspended, which is certainly a loss. But Ismaïla Sarr and Kalidou Koulibaly are fit to start, both scored vital goals against Ecuador and are likely to be key if Senegal are to progress to the quarter-finals.
Here's how they line up:
England: Pickford, Walker, Shaw, Rice, Stones, Maguire, Henderson, Kane, Saka, Foden, Bellingham.
Senegal: E Mendy, Koulibaly, N Mendy, Dia, Ciss, Ndiaye, Jakobs, Diatta, Sarr, Sabaly, Diallo.
