It will be the first time the two sides have met in the knockout round of a men's major tournament.

France and England have only played against each other twice in a Fifa World Cup - once in 1966 and again in 1986 - both times England were victorious.

There's added pressure for England's team as France lifted the World Cup trophy back in 2018 after an epic showdown with Croatia.

In the past century, England has won 17 of their 31 international matches against France - but most of these victories were before 1950.

Many people think France just have the edge over England, but centre-back Harry Maguire says the squad reckons they've got what it takes to go all the way to the final and bring that trophy home.

But their biggest threat seems to be from France's forward Kylian Mbapp茅, who is currently the tournament's leading scorer with five goals in four games.

England Midfielder Mason Mount said: "Mbapp茅 is very dangerous.

"When you play against players like this you maybe give a bit more focus on them than usual because you know what they can do and how they can hurt you."

"But we are ready for that challenge. We know what we can do and how we've been playing." he said.

The game kicks off at 7pm on Saturday, 10 December.
