Argentina vs England could prove to be an all-time classic World Cup clash. They\u2019re two high-scoring teams with world-class attacking talents and a genuine rivalry in the middle of it all. What\u2019s not to love?<\/strong><\/p>\n La Albiceleste survived a scare in their quarter-final against Switzerland to make it this far. Likewise, England also had to battle through adversity to overcome a very game Norway outfit.<\/p>\n But who will Argentina field in their starting lineup against the Three Lions? After such a grueling encounter, will they make changes? Here is what we came up with.<\/p>\n In the last World Cup, Emi Martinez was undoubtedly the best goalkeeper in the competition. He hasn\u2019t been quite as impressive this year, but his spot as Argentina\u2019s number one remains on lockdown.<\/p>\n An excellent attacking full-back, Nahuel Molina has played in five of Argentina\u2019s six World Cup games so far. With no injury concerns to speak of, it\u2019s highly likely he\u2019ll keep his spot.<\/p>\n Manchester United\u2019s Lisandro Martinez will have the unenviable task of containing Harry Kane on Wednesday night. We\u2019re expecting a full-blooded, bad-tempered battle between he, Kane and Bellingham \u2013 they don\u2019t call him \u2018The Butcher\u2019 for nothing.<\/p>\n This one might be in doubt. Cristian Romero was absolutely exhausted when subbed off against Switzerland, but in truth, we\u2019re not sure if Argentina have a superior replacement for him. To that end, we think he\u2019ll keep his spot. <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Argentina vs England could prove to be an all-time classic World Cup clash.
