England could be considered as the biggest favourite for the 2022 World Cup, according to former Three Lions manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Gareth Southgate s team reached the semi-finals at Russia 2018, matching England s best effort at a World Cup since they triumphed on home soil in 1966.
England then made their first major tournament final appearance since 1966 when they faced Italy in a Euro 2020 showdown last year, only to lose on penalties.
Eriksson managed England at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, reaching the quarter-finals of each tournament respectively, while also getting to the last eight at Euro 2004.
Beaten by Brazil in 2002, and Portugal at the following two tournaments, Eriksson was unable to guide England s golden generation to success.
