World Cup Group B permutations: What England, USA, Wales and Iran need to qualify for knockout stages

With the final round of matches in Group B to come, it is still mathematically possible for all teams to qualify for the last 16.

England sit top of the group with four points, followed by Iran on three, USA on two, and Wales on one. 

Telegraph Sport looks into what each team needs to reach the knockout stages in Qatar – and their likely opponents after the group stage. 

What do England need to qualify?

England will reach the knockout stage if they avoid a four-goal defeat by Wales on Tuesday.

An England win would guarantee Gareth Southgate’s side top spot, but they can still draw and finish top unless Iran beat the United States or the Americans overcome Iran by at least four goals. 

England will also finish top if Iran and USA draw and the Three Lions do not lose to Wales by four or more goals.

What do Wales need to qualify?

For Wales to progress they must beat England and hope for a draw between the United States and Iran. 

If USA vs Iran does not end in a draw, Wales must beat England by four goals to advance.
