Qatar 2022 World Cup draw in full as England draw against Iran, USA and Wales, Scotland or Ukraine

England have been drawn in Group B alongside Iran, USA and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine. The Three Lions will embark on their World Cup quest in November later this year.

Gareth Southgate's side will play Iran in the Group B curtain raiser on November 21, before playing USA on November 25 and rounding off the group against Scotland, Wales or Ukraine on November 29. The three sides are set to play each other later this year with Scotland's play-off tie against Ukraine postponed as a result of Russia's ongoing invasion.

The England boss has kept his cards close to his chest and played down being the group favourites. Southgate told PA: "The first two teams we haven't played for quite a while, and the third is a total unknown but throws up a possible British derby. We know what they're about and we've had plenty of them.

"For us, we're in on day one so it's quite clear what our programme looks like with the end of the Premier League season, getting out here as quickly as possible. When you're seeded, you get the advantage of missing out on those big six or seven teams.

"For most of the first seeds, they'd be pleased with the first group they get. There are some really highly ranked teams in pot two, and the US is an interesting one. I know Gregg Berhalter quite well, we've met a few times and had long chats about things, in fact only a few weeks ago, so we were smiling at the end there but they've got some really good players, we know what they could be careful of as a nation, so that one in particular is an intriguing one."
