    HARRY KANE TO MAKE ENGLAND HISTORY AS SORRY RONALDO FALLS FACE FIRST

    Harry Kane looks set to make England history on Tuesday, becoming the highest scoring Englishman in World Cup finals (not the World Cup Final, obviously, but the whole of the finals proper). Kane currently matches Gary Lineker on 10 World Cup Finals goals, with two group games left, where it is expected he will score at least another....6(!) Simon Lillibury is joined by Conor McGilligan and Amos Murphy to dissect England's win over Croatia, that frantic fifteen in the second half, the back line conundrum and just how many goals Harry Kane can score in his bid to become a two-time World Cup golden boot winner. As well as digesting the England win, the trio look at Scotland's chances against Brazil, with them still odds on to qualify for the last 32, despite a 1-0 defeat to Morocco, and, let's be honest, an expected defeat to 4-time winners Brazil. To cap off the show, the panel look at England's clash with Ghana, in a game where England are 2/9 favourites to win (and comfortably), but given the number of shock results we've seen so far, sticking a quid on Ghana 12/1 wouldn't be a bad play. As always, 18+, odds subject to change and please do gamble responsibly - and only bet your pocket.

Hold us to that!We're so confident Leicester have no bottle, we're backing them to go down before the season has finished.Elsewhere, West Brom have been collared by PSR, in news that dropped just before we hit record. We read as much as we could on it, but expect more clairty from the club in due course. Developing!At the top end, Coventry failed to secure absolute Premier League football on Saturday, only managing a draw with lowly Sheffield Wednseday, who could arguably have won the contest at the CBS.Middlesbrough continued their fall from grace, paving the way for Millwall to jump up into third, behind Ipswich Town. On today's show, Benjamin Bloom is joined on the panel with Millwall fan Chris Chapman, who chew the fat with Simon Lillibury over the weekend's action and look at how Alex Neil has spurred Millwall on this season, despite a struggle with injuries.
