Wales vs England takes place in the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday. Here are the confirmed match officials for the Group B fixture.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing display in their second group game against United States on Friday, which ended 0-0.

England provided little in the way of goalscoring threat, and were fortunate not to concede through Christian Pulisic's effort, which crashed off the crossbar.

But they are all but guaranteed to qualify from Group B, even with a defeat against Wales. If that result happens, England can only miss out if USA defeat Iran and Wales beat them by four goals or more.

Rob Page's side know that only a win will give them any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages following their 2-0 defeat to Iran.

But, barring the above scenario, a win would require the other result to go their way too, with an Iran win over USA definitely knocking them out.

Here are the officials who will be taking charge of the crunch Group B clash.
