Host nation:<\/strong> Qatar <\/span>Dates: <\/strong>20 November-18 December <\/span>Coverage: <\/strong>Live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. <\/span>Day-by-day TV listings<\/span><\/a> – <\/span>Full coverage details<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

England forward Phil Foden says his World Cup has been a “mixed bag” but believes he has a chance of starting England’s last-16 clash with Senegal.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has been up and down,” the Manchester City forward told BBC TV. <\/span><\/p>\n

“[I am] disappointed not to start more games but it is part of the tournament. I am a team player and when I get the opportunities I’ll take them.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Foden has scored nine goals and assisted twice in 22 appearances for his club and country this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

He came on as a 71st-minute substitute in England’s opener with Iran and played all 90 minutes against Wales.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I had seen a lot of media attention towards me to start, it is hard to get away from that,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a lot [of competition]. [Bukayo] Saka has done well and scored in the first game, [Marcus] Rashford has scored and did very well against Wales. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Everyone is scoring and everyone has proved a point so it will be a headache for Gareth [Southgate] to pick the team for the next game.<\/span><\/p>\n

“[Scoring against Wales was] definitely up there for one of the best feelings in my career so far, a special moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think I have every chance to start next match. I played well against Wales but we will have to see what happens.”<\/span><\/p>\n

England manager Southgate praised the 22-year-old and also stressed he is not worried about captain Harry Kane’s goalless start to the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

“For Phil it was great he got his goal, a special moment for a start but also it means that all of our attacking players bar Harry have scored. That means there is one coming for Harry,” Southgate told BBC TV.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘We’ve been working on penalties for a while’<\/h3>\n

England face Senegal after qualifying for the knockout stage as Group B winners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senegal progressed from the group stage for only the second time <\/span>after a 2-1 win over Ecuador<\/span><\/a> on Tuesday, to finish second behind the Netherlands in Group A.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They are playing with confidence, they are African champions,” added Southgate.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They are well organised and they have good individual players. They have speed on the transitions, not a dissimilar test from the USA. I think it will be that sort of athleticism we will face, definitely.”<\/span><\/p>\n

At this stage four years ago <\/span>England won their first-ever World Cup penalty shootout<\/span><\/a> to beat Colombia and advance to the quarter-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their latest shootout, though, ended in defeat – <\/span>an agonising loss to Italy<\/span><\/a> in the final of the European Championship at Wembley last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Southgate says the squad have been focusing on their spot-kicks in training.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We were not moving far from what we did, but there are some things we thought we could nail down even tighter and we have been working on that for a while,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a balance of not making that a bigger drama than it needs to be but, at the same time, making sure we are prepared.”<\/span><\/p>\n
