What time is England v Senegal kick-off and what TV channel is it on?

England continue their 2022 World Cup campaign as they take on Senegal in the Round of 16.

Senegal, meanwhile, finished as runners-up in their group after beating Ecuador and hosts Qatar. They reached the quarter-finals in their World Cup debut 20 years ago but this year's tournament is only their third appearance at a finals, having been knocked out in the group stage in 2018.

What have the managers/coaches said?

Gareth Southgate: "I think Sadio is an incredible player and every team would want to have him but they have become strong in his absence and shown great spirit through losing him.

"We know it doesn’t make a difference to the level of the fixture. We have to be prepared and at our very best.

"We’re very impressed with them. They’re African champions, a very proud nation, they’re great competitors with lots of belief and excellent individual players who cause problems and bring problems.

"Aliou Cisse has done a fine job. They were very unlucky not to qualify for the last 16 in Russia and they deservedly did it this time, so we know task ahead of us.

"The Senegalese players in the Premier League – and some guys in the Championship who are really Premier League players – have enriched our game, as have players from around the world."

Assistant coach Regis Bogaert: "It's a trend we've seen for some time. And we'll see it more. In 2018, we heard criticism because there were no African teams in second round. Now there are two and two more nearly made it. We've seen progress.

"I've been in Africa for a long time now and it's down to the ability of teams to create their own African identity, with African coaches. I'm convinced in not too long now, in the near future, African teams will go very, very far in World Cups. African teams need to be ambitious.

"Four years ago, we were knocked out by yellow cards so we weren't far away. Since then, the team has grown. We lost a final and won a final. We are more mature and that's important at international level. We are capable of going eye-to-eye with anybody."
