However, England could be drawn with Germany who are in Pot Two. 

A potential 'Group of Death' could also contain Sadio Mane's AFCON winners Senegal (Pot Three) and Canada (Pot Four), who finished above USA and Mexico in the CONCACAF qualification. 

​England's potential 'Group of Death' -

​1. England

2. Germany

3. Senegal 

4. Canada

There are some other tricky matches with the likes of the Netherlands and Uruguay in Pot Two, with Poland and Japan in Pot Three while Wales or Scotland (should they qualify for the World Cup) could also be drawn in the group stage.
