13:00 CET - Good afternoon! Welcome to what promises to be a thrilling day of World Cup quarter-final action. 

Getting the night started is a clash between Norway and England. Norway have been the story of the tournament by making it this far and whilst it has been an impressive collective effort, it is hard to look past the importance of their talismanic forward Erling Haaland. Without him, Norway simply wouldn't have mounted the comeback against Brazil in the last round. 

Beating five-time champions Brazil was a remarkable achievement for the small Scandinavian nation and with Haaland in unstoppable form, they will fancy doing the same again today against England.

England will be no pushovers, however, and the Three Lions have their own goal machine in Harry Kane.

Thomas Tuchel's side have grown into the tournament and their heroic back-against-the-wall performance against Mexico at the Azteca in the round of 16 was one of the most impressive in England's World Cup history. Kane and Jude Bellingham have been in inspired form throughout the tournament and it might just be England's double weapon that gives them the edge. 

Then comes the final quarter-final before the semi-finals take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

Argentina are the world champions and favourites against Switzerland but Lionel Scaloni's side haven't been wholly convincing in the knockout stages of this World Cup. After only avoiding a humiliating exit to Cape Verde by the skin of their teeth, Argentina then produced a dramatic late comeback against Egypt to avoid a major upset in the last 16.

Lionel Messi has been getting them out of trouble so far but Switzerland are a step up and so Scaloni will need his other forwards to help the little magician if they want to keep alive their dream of retaining the World Cup.

Switzerland, meanwhile, proved against Argentina's Copa America final opponents, Colombia, that they are a very difficult team to beat. They might not have loads of attacking firepower of their own but they are a really strong knockout team and they will look to make it as difficult for Argentina as possible.
