England defender Marc Guehi insists the pressure is on Argentina as the Three Lions prepare to face the reigning champions in the World Cup semi-finals.
Wednesday's match in Atlanta (20:00 BST) is England's second semi-final in three World Cups, but they have not reached the final since winning the tournament in 1966.
To do so this year they have to overcome Argentina, who they will face for the sixth time at a World Cup in the latest chapter of one of international football's biggest rivalries .
