This Saturday at 9:00 PM GMT, Norway takes on England in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. Here are the probable lineups for both teams ahead of this blockbuster clash in Miami.

This is a truly unprecedented showdown awaiting both sides on Saturday night at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Never before have Norway and England met in a major official competition, and now they face off for the first time at this stage of a World Cup, with a coveted spot in the semifinals on the line.

Probable lineups for Norway vs England:

Norway’s likely starting XI: Ørjan Nyland, Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjørn Heggem, David Møller Wolfe, Sander Berge, Patrick Berg, Martin Ødegaard, Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa, Erling Haaland.

England’s likely starting XI: Jordan Pickford, Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, Nico O’Reilly, Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane.

Buoyed by a dazzling Erling Haaland since the start of the tournament, the Norwegians head into this encounter riding high after their sensational upset against Brazil. On the other side, Thomas Tuchel faces several defensive and medical uncertainties as he prepares his Three Lions, who were halted at the same stage by France in 2022.

Whoever emerges victorious from this matchup will advance to the semifinals to face the winner of the Argentina vs Switzerland clash, scheduled later that night.
