England get their World Cup campaign underway against Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar on Monday.
Gareth Southgate's men begin their quest for a first world title since 1966, having reached the semi-finals four years ago and the final of Euro 2020 last year.
However, standing in their way is an Iran team looking to make further history for their nation as they aim to win a World Cup game for just the third time.
Here, Sports Mole compares the key statistics between the 26-man parties named by both managers.
