Expect England, France, and Brazil to make it to the knockouts and potentially go deep. Seven of our first XI play for these countries. I expect all of our three Brazilians to be called up but only Jesus to be heavily involved. Same for England - only Saka will be heavily involved (unless Southgate develops a brain and starts White)
Ghana and Japan will probably not make it too far.
Switzerland is a bit hit and miss so you never know. Although not worried about Xhaka at all, mentality or fatigue wise. Guy is a machine.
Øde, KT, Eddie, Reiss, and potentially Sambi going nowhere. Plus we will be boosted by the return of ESR, Elneny, and Zinchenko.
This could potentially do us more good than harm depending on how some key players come back (Saka, Jesus, Saliba).
January (and April) is a brutal month for us with the most difficult fixtures. Could do with easy FA cup games as well as league cup if we advance past Brighton.
