Aaron Ramsdale (GK), Trend Alexander-Arnold (Defender), Kieran Trippier (Defender), Eric Dier (Defender), Conor Coady (Defender), Ben White (Defender), Mason Mount (MF), Jordan Henderson (MF), Jack Grealish (Forward), Bukayo Saka (Forward), Callum Wilson (Forward), and Marcus Rashford (Forward)

Payam Niazmand (GK), Amir Abedzadeh (GK), Hossein Hosseini (GK), Milad Mohammadi (Defender), Shojae Khalizadeh (Defender), Sadegh Moharrami (Defender), Rouzbeh Cheshmi (Defender), Majid Hosseini (Defender), Abolfazl Jalali (Defender), Saeid Ezatolahi (MF), and Ali Karimi (MF).
On the English side, we'd say keep a close eye on the English Football Captain, Harry Kane. Similarly, Kyle Walker will be a tough defender, along with John Stones and Harry Maguire. Jordan Henderson also holds a massive threat to the Iran Team. And helping his captain on the offense, Raheem Sterling, will be essential for the push.

So Mehdi, Karim, and Sardar are the players to watch. Similarly, Vahid and Alireza will be vital for the flow of the match. Iran's football team captain Ehsan Hajsafi will have a lot of pressure but whether he will become a diamond in today's game remains to be seen. And finally, Beiranvand will have to face the onslaught of the English strikers, so it's his time to shine in today's FIFA match.
