We’ve been well buzzing about this game ever since ENGLAND and BELGIUM were drawn together! It’s boss Gareth Southgate’s most difficult test so far, so we’ve come up with a plan for The Three Lions to beat The Red Devils. Get in! TOTTENHAM CONNECTION! The epic battle between Harry Kane and his Tottenham team-mates Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld will be key, but another Spurs star could make a big difference. Five of the England skipper’s Prem goals last season came from Kieran Trippier assists, and they could link up to great effect here! PICK PACE UP TOP! This will be the first time that England will have space to counter-attack, so they should have their pacy players in the team! The speed of Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling or Marcus…

DREAM COME TRUE! KIERAN SAYS: “Being a World Cup player is fantastic! You have to remember, I only made my debut last year for England v France, so just to be here now is amazing! I’ve worked really hard all season with Tottenham and I’m delighted to be here.” STYLE OF PLAY! KIERAN SAYS: “I try to get forward as much as possible and create as much as I can – and 3-5-2 is the perfect system for me. In that formation, you’ve got the number eight at the tip of the diamond, so every time I get on the ball there’s an option. The manager plays this system and we do well with it.” SQUAD STRENGTH! KIERAN SAYS: “Everyone can see the youth, pace and quality that we have.…

MASSIVE ENGLAND CLASH! EDEN SAYS: “It’s a big game and we know the media will make a big deal of it. We must remember it’s not the only match, but of course, it could decide who wins the group.” PREM FACE-OFF! EDEN SAYS: “There will be team-mates playing against each other, so it’ll be familiar. With Kompany, Alderweireld and Vertonghen, we have so much experience at the back – they are all leaders. De Bruyne is the best right now and I hope Lukaku can win the Golden Boot, but there are many strikers who can win it.” DE BRUYNE’S IMPORTANCE! EDEN SAYS: “For me, he was the best player in the Premier League last season. He’s so easy to play with, because he’s such an intelligent player. He sees…
