The Three Lions landed in Qatar on Tuesday ahead of the first Group B fixture against Iran on Monday, November 21.
The tournament is the first-ever to be held in the Middle East, with the build up dominated by the controversy surrounding the host nation.
Qatar has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, treatment of migrant workers and other human rights issues and violations.
This global event is also taking place in the winter for the first time, forcing a six-week break in the regular European season due to the usual sweltering summer temperatures in the Arabic region.
Despite the controversy, the tournament will begin in two days time, when the hosts face Ecuador in the opening game at the Al Bayt Stadium.
England, who also have Wales and USA in their group, will go into this World Cup looking to build on the strong performances from their two previous major tournaments.
At Russia 2018, they reached their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years, before going one better at EURO 2020, agonisingly losing on penalties to Italy in the final at Wembley.
However since then, Southgate’s side has come under fire from England supporters for their poor form and uninspiring football, going into the tournament without a win in their last six games and having scoring just four goals (three of which were in one game).
Many are unsure as to how the Three Lions will fair in this tournament and ahead of the world’s biggest sporting event, the BetVictor supercomputer has calculated the tournament probabilities for each of the 32 teams competing.
