It is the date that many scribble down in their calendar every time the World Cup gets underway, but when will this year's final take place in Qatar?

And Gareth Southgate's England will be hoping of reaching that stage of the competition this year, falling short in 2018 after losing to Croatia in the semi-final stage in Russia.

The Three Lions kick off their campaign against Iran on November 21, with the action getting underway at 1pm (GMT) and will be the second game of the tournament, as hosts Qatar open the competition with a tricky fixture against Ecuador following the opening ceremony.
