STAR WORLD CUP PREVIEW Sat: Norway v England

Norway face England in the World Cup quarter-final at the Hard Rock Stadium with both nations vying for a spot in the last-four, writes JOE CITRONE.

England were valiant and heroic in their victory over Mexico at the Azteca in the round-of-16, but now need to recharge and regroup ahead of another tough game against Norway as we truly get into the business end of this tournament.

After his red card, Jarell Quansah is suspended, and although Reece James was spotted back in training, his fitness is still in doubt, which gives Thomas Tuchel another headache at right-back.

Marc Guehi is a doubt too with a hamstring problem, which could mean Dan Burn straight back in after his brilliant Azteca cameo.

Norway have already knocked out Brazil, and have proven themselves to be the dark horses of this World Cup, and main man Erling Haaland is vying for the golden boot.

With Martin Odegaard pulling the strings behind him, and Antonio Nusa terrorising full-backs, Norway will hope to cause England problems.

But, after the heroism of the Azteca, I now believe, and these England players will too. I fancy them to get the job done, but with both teams scoring, which you can back at 5/2 with starsports.bet.
