Norway v England, Miami Stadium, Saturday 22:00 BST
What to watch out for: Norway goal machine Erling Haaland has scored seven goals in four games at the World Cup and was at his clinical best in netting twice to knock out five-time winners Brazil in the last 16.
The Manchester City striker has 62 goals in 54 internationals – an average of one every 71 minutes. He is also on a run of scoring in14 consecutive games for his country, with 27 goals in that time.
However, lurking just one goal behind Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot is England captain Harry Kane, whose penalty against Mexico proved the winner in a World Cup classic.
The Bayern Munich forward, 32, scored more goals for club and country (73) than anyone else in European football in 2025-26 and has continued that form in North America.
With 14, he has become England’s all-time leading goalscorer at World Cups and looks in shape to help himself to more in this quarter-final.
Key stats: England will participate in their 11th World Cup quarter-final – the third-highest number behind Brazil and Germany (both on 14). England, however, have only won three of their games at this stage.
By contrast, Norway have only qualified for four World Cups and this is the first time they have ever reached the quarter-finals of a major tournament. They have done it the hard way by scoring and conceding in all of their games so far. Only West Germany in 1954 have reached a World Cup semi-final with such a record.
