Former Wales defender Ashley Williams, told BBC 5 Live, "Wales needs to show the world what they’re all about," when they play England tonight.

"I don’t think Wales have put half as much into this World Cup, as what we’re capable of.

"If you want to bounce back from a poor performance and a poor result, then there’s no better fixture if you’re a Welsh player, than playing against England. You need no motivation for that."

On his expectations for the game, he added: "I do feel a little bit confident. I know it’s hard, I know England are a good team and I know all of the odds are against Wales, but I don’t see why not.

"It’s football at the end of the day, stranger things have happened.

"There will be nothing that will need to be said for a Wales v England game, and I think that’s the same for both teams.

"Both teams will be bang up for it."

It’s a hot afternoon in Doha with the temperature slightly above average at 30 degrees C.

However, with the humidity there, it’ll probably feel more like 35 for those out and about building up to the big game later.

Later this evening it will have cooled to a more comfortable but still very warm 26 degrees.

The Welsh and English fans and players will be hoping the air conditioned stadium is working properly.

Anon: To the tune of Silent Night: It's our night / England's night / We are up for the fight / We've got Sterling, Saka and Kane / They will score and score again / Wales won't get any peace / Wales won't get any peace

Really relaxed atmosphere around Souk Waqif this lunchtime as fans await the game tonight.

Plenty of Wales fans in the trademark buckets hats. This group from Eglwys Fach in north Wales are “hopeful of sneaking a 1-0 win!”

Speaking to England fans, they’re confident of going through, “we trust in Southgate, to get the job done.”

England

We asked you to name your England XI for tonight's match against Wales.

With the possibility of Gareth Southgate making changes to his England team, it's clear Three Lions fans feel it is time to give Phil Foden and Jack Grealish the chance to shine from the outset.

Foden was the most-selected player by BBC Sport readers and he makes your midfield, while Grealish joins Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane in the front three, while Trent Alexander-Arnold - who is yet to feature in Qatar - is preferred to Kieran Trippier at full-back.

Anyone else think Rob Green should join Chesney on stage?

We are going to keep dropping this in throughout the day because, frankly, it needs more than one look.

England are on the verge of reaching the knockout stage of the World Cup, but Wales face an uphill battle in their quest to make the last 16.

So what do the home nations need to secure a place? Let's have a look.

England

• England will go through regardless if they avoid a four-goal defeat by Wales.
• They'll also finish top of Group B if Iran and the USA draw and they don't lose to Wales by four or more goals.
• If England draw against Wales and Iran beat the USA, Iran top the group and England finish second.
• If England draw to Wales and the USA beat Iran by at least four goals, the USA will finish top of the group, with England in second.
• If England lose to Wales and the USA beat Iran, USA finish top of the group and England qualify second.

Wales

• Wales must beat England and hope for a draw between the United States and Iran.
• If USA or Iran win, Wales will need to beat England by four or more goals to finish second ahead of them.

Round of 16 matches

The Group B qualifiers will face the first or second in Group A, where the Netherlands, Ecuador or Senegal will go through.

• Saturday, 15:00 GMT - Winners Group A v Runners-up Group B
• Sunday, 19:00 - Winners Group B v Runners-up Group A

It’s not only a big day for England and Wales, but also for Chesney Hawkes, who will be making his first stadium performance in thirty years in Qatar.

The 'One and Only' singer, will take to the stage at half-time of the England v Wales game, to perform the 90s classic.

Speaking to Radio 5 Live he said: "I’m excited to be here, I’m a massive football fan.

"I thought I’d give them the one song, my jazz solo record."

Reflecting on England’s performance so far, he added: "The first game was amazing, it wasn’t the greatest opposition but I wasn’t very impressed with the USA.

"It was a very boring game, but maybe he was playing for a draw and resting the players a bit.

"We have got to trust in what Gareth is doing here, he’s obviously tried and tested."

Wondering who Chesney Hawkes is? This may help., external

We have news of some half-time entertainment at the Wales-England game tonight - and the song is already in my head.

If you are a child of the 90s you have probably guessed who it is from the headline...

England captain Harry Kane says the "hype and noise" around his injury is similar to when David Beckham and Wayne Rooney suffered their issues before and during previous major tournaments.

Kane sustained a heavy blow to the ankle in the opening 6-2 win over Iran and was taken off after 76 minutes.

The Tottenham striker had a precautionary scan,but then played the whole of the laboured 0-0 draw against the United States.

"Whether or not I am fully fit or injured, someone else can come in - in any position," Kane told BBC Sport.

I have just seen on TV a fan in Doha wearing a half and half England/Wales shirt.

I'm not sure that is a trend we want to catch on....

The real Alan: Kane better watch out, He’d better not cry, He’d better not pout, I'm telling you why: Callum Wilson’s going to start. He’ll score when you are sleeping He’ll score when your awake He’ll score if Kane’s been bad or good (so he’d better be good for goodness sake)

This World Cup is different in that it's being held in an area roughly the size of Newcastle.

So, BBC Sport's Nesta McGregor thought he would try to travel to as many matches as possible in one day.

He started off with Germany v Japan...watch the video to see how he got on!

France manager Didier Deschamps says his senior players are helping to guide those with "less international experience," on and off the pitch.

Speaking to the media ahead of France's final group-stage game against Tunisia on Wednesday, he said: "Yes, some of our more senior players have been injured, so we've had to use players with less international experience than those missing.

"They're still top players, who have everything they need to be here, as most are playing in top European teams and in the Champions League.

"Yes, they need to be guided by experience but they have great potential.

"It just means we have to take small adjustments but they have the potential, they just need help showing that on the pitch.

"You need quality, that's what makes the difference but also team spirit and the balance between experience and youth comes into that.

"We all have the same objective of progressing in this tournament."

On whether there will be any changes to his starting line-up tomorrow, he said: "There will be changes but I can't tell you how many and I don't want to tell the opponent that either.

"I don't want to make it too comfortable for Tunisia."

Phil, 39, is a lifelong football fan who's in Qatar for his fourth World Cup in a row. Qatar has said "everyone is welcome", but as a gay man travelling in a country where same-sex relationships are criminalised, he tells us through his diary how the experience has been challenging.

I spoke to a gay fan from the Netherlands in a bar earlier. Like me, he feels somewhat conflicted about being here. I also had one of my dating apps open today and got several messages from Saudi men.

So the Qataris may pretend that queer life in the Middle East is dead, but online it's alive and well.

The UK Culture Secretary said she would wear the "OneLove" armband if she attended the World Cup.

Michelle Donelan said she "100%" supports Sports Minister Stuart Andrew, who is gay, in doing so.

"I support the campaign behind... and the sentiment behind the OneLove armband and I believe in us being able to stand up for our values and I'm proud that he's going to wear that," she told Sky News.

Asked if she would too, she said: "Yes, I think I would actually."

England and Wales were among seven countries to abandon plans to wear them during matches because players faced disciplinary action if they did so.

Wales' Gareth Bale and England's Harry Kane had planned to wear the armband to promote diversity and inclusion.
