Will Haaland edge Pickford again?

[Getty Images] When England take on Norway on Saturday night with a place in a World Cup semi-final up for grabs, Thomas Tuchel's side will somehow have to tame Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker has scored in each of his last 14 competitive outings for Norway (27 goals in total during this period), finding the back of the net in all four of his appearances at the FIFA World Cup so far. The last player to score in each of his first five games at the tournament was Columbia's James Rodríguez in 2014, while the last European player to do so was Germany's Gerd Müller in 1970. Fortunately for the Three Lions, they have an in-form Jordan Pickford to call upon. The Everton stopper will overtake Peter Shilton to become England's outright all-time leading appearance maker at the World Cup (currently level with 17 games each) in Saturday's fixture. Pickford however tends to run into one or two issues when up against Haaland. He has conceded seven of the 10 shots on target that Haaland has had against him in the Premier League, with the Norwegian only netting more goals in the competition against José Sá (10), Alphonse Areola (9) and Bernd Leno (8). So far, Haaland has four match-winning goals in the tournament, with only Poland's Grzegorz Lato in 1974 and Italy's Salvatore Schillaci in 1990 managing more in a single campaign in the competition's history (both five).
