England are about to leave their hotel and make their way to the arena in beautiful Volgograd...

Feeling nervous? You're not alone. Still, rest assured that a World Cup winner is positive that England are going to perform this time...

England's 1966 hat-trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst says: "Let’s be fair it’s got to be better, we need it to get better because we’ve had two tournaments where in Brazil, we had two games and we were out, and then the Iceland defeat at Euro 2016 - I mean I’ve never seen a game like that.

"We’ve got a young team but I’m optimistic. Hopefully the spirit’s good and they perform well - we want to see them perform well and good results. So I’m optimistic - I can’t think any other way.

"It’s not for us to be negative about the squad as a player and a person, I’m not going to go with any negativity, and I think we’ll do well.”

Sir Geoff Hurst will be at Wembley on Sunday 22 July to support Prostate Cancer UK’s Football 'March for Men'., external

How interested are you in tonight's England - Tunisia World Cup game?

Many will be seeking out their local big screen or joining others at the pub to share in the hopes, dreams and frustrations as the nation's team begin their campaign.

But some are more hopeful than others:

If we've learned one thing from the opening few days of this World Cup it's that (repeat after me):

THERE ARE NO EASY GAMES AT THIS LEVEL.

Tunisia coach Nabil Maaloul said in May he is yet to decide which formation to play in Russia, with 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 both possibilities, but he believes “imposing our style” on Tunisia’s Group G rivals is their greatest chance of success.

Maaloul’s take on 4-3-3, which he calls his “normal concept”, is typically facilitated with one midfielder sitting in a destructive defensive role alongside two box-to-box operators, allowing the full-backs to attack. However, Maaloul has warned “our tactical conception may evolve” and against England, a more pragmatic 4-2-3-1 may be seen.

Where are you following tonight's game from then?

A night in with family or friends? A trip to your local?

On holiday somewhere? In Volgograd? At work?

Gareth - you've charmed me.

England manager Gareth Southgate says it is like being on "holiday with your family" in the team camp as England prepare to start their 2018 World Cup campaign against Tunisia.

We will know the team for sure in about an hour but here's what our people on the ground are telling us. It's as expected:

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Henderson, Young; Alli, Lingard; Sterling; Kane

We should have a confirmed England team with you very soon.

Here, Match of the Day Alan Shearer and Jermaine Jenas select their starting line-up for England's opening 2018 World Cup match with Tunisia.

Will the World Cup champions' curse strike again in 2018? Could Germany follow former holders France, Italy & Spain in crashing out of a World Cup at the group stage as defending champions?

There's no shortage of people who think they know their football - but could they plot their way through the entire World Cup?

Now you can find out just how good you are at working out who will come out on top in Russia.
