Argentina and England are playing in the tournament for the first time since the 2002 World Cup, which England won 1-0 thanks to a David Beckham penalty. But in the previous two World Cups, Argentina defeated England 2-1 in 1986 and won on penalties in 1998, when Beckham was sent off.
Argentina have made one change to their squad. Midfielder Rodrigo de Pal has been replaced by Giuliano Simeone. England have made three changes from the team that played in the previous match, bringing in Reece James, NZ Spence and Morgan Rogers for Ezri Konsa, Nico O'Reilly and Noni Maduke.
Argentina are in contention to reach the final for the second time in a row. Four years ago, Lionel Messi-led Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar. England are in contention to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966. England lost in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
