Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Dominic Fifield and Barney Ronay for the third and final instalment of our World Cup preview podcasts.

In part one, Barney joins us on the phone to discuss the decisions Gareth Southgate needs to make before the 18 June opener against Tunisia, the friendlies and how they may have shaped the thinking among those covering the team.

In part two, we look at England’s group G opponents, Tunisia, Panama and Belgium, sharing stories and tidbits from each squad, before spending part three on some recent stories – new contracts for Harry Kane and Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs, Zinedine Zidane’s departure, King Kenny becoming a Sir and Chris Coleman topping off a strange 12 months by landing in China to coach one of the highest paid players in the world.

Back on Thursday for the first edition of the 2018 World Cup Football Daily.
