World Cup LIVE – Sterling in England return, Ronaldo denies quit claim

Patrice Evra has predicted France will beat England, although he warned his compatriots to focus on Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden as the danger men.

“I feel confident, but not arrogant. I’m happy with what France are doing right now, but I’m also happy with what England are doing right now,” he told Betfair.

“I think it’s going to be an interesting game, but while I think England will have to worry about players like Kylian Mbappe, France also have to worry about players like Saka and Foden. France have got worries about the England team.

“You can tell me that Kyle Walker is going to block Mbappe, he did it against Neymar very well in the Champions League, but I know Mbappe will move into the centre and he will come up against John Stones and Harry Maguire, and it will be difficult for them to stop him.

“It’s a big mix, I feel like France are going to smash England, but England can also beat France, so I’m going into the game confident but I could also be surprised.”
