Gary Neville and Micah Richards have played down England's chances of winning the World Cup in Qatar.

Neville and Richards have gone head-to-head in a hilarious new episode of Agree To Disagree, in partnership with Sky Bet.

The pair clashed on a number of topics but were in full agreement when asked if England will win the tournament in Qatar, which gets underway in November.

You can read their exchange below:

Neville: "I'd have to disagree. I don't think they will. I think they're as close as they’ll ever get, I think they're a brilliant bunch and they've done brilliant at the last two tournaments.

"But I just think, when we cut to the chase… look I hope so, because they deserve to and Gareth [Southgate] deserves to."

Richards: "They got the semi-final of the World Cup, they got to the final of the Euros. Is this the time?"

Neville: "I just think France, Germany, Spain. You've got Brazil, Argentina coming into it… Senegal, all these countries that are fantastic."

Richards: "I still think that they're a couple of years away. [But] when the likes of [Jude] Bellingham get in the team…"

Both Neville and Richards agreed that Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse deserves to be in England's squad for the tournament after another impressive campaign for the Saints.

Ward-Prowse, 27, has made just nine appearances for the Three Lions since his international debut in 2017 but Neville and Richards are keen to see the midfielder in Qatar.

Richards said: "He’s been the most underrated player in the Premier League for years.

"People say he might not have the mobility but he works hard, he's always [at least] seven out of 10, with that great right foot.

"You know what lets him down? Because he's so good at free-kicks, like your mate David Beckham, people forget all the other stuff he does.

"That's his problem, but he’s a top player."

Neville replied: "We’re on the same page."

Do you agree with Neville and Richards? Can England in the World Cup? Let us know your thoughts.
