England will guarantee their place in the round of 16 if they avoid defeat by their neighbours, while even a 3-0 defeat would be enough to send them through.
Wales are in a much more precarious position: they must beat Gareth Southgate's side and hope that Iran vs USA ends in a draw.
Although England will almost certainly advance whatever happens on Tuesday, Southgate will want to see an improved display after the disappointing goalless draw with the USA.
Kick-off is at 7pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch World Cup 2022 wherever you are.
Line-ups
Wales (3-4-3)
Ward; Mepham, Ampadu, Rodon; N. Williams, Allen, Ramsey, B. Davies; Bale, Moore, James
England (4-3-3)
Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Henderson, Bellingham; Foden, Kane, Rashford
Team news
Danny Ward, the back-up goalkeeper in the Wales squad, will start between the sticks as Wayne Hennessey is suspended.
Gareth Southgate has been criticised for not making use of some of the most talented members of the England squad, notably Phil Foden.
However, that does not necessarily mean the Manchester City man will start against the Welsh. After returning from injury, James Maddison and Kyle Walker could feature in some capacity.
Southgate has also made clear that Harry Kane is fit to face Wales in England’s final group game and brushed away the suggestion he could rotate his team.
Form
Wales fought back valiantly to draw 1-1 with the USA on matchday one, but they were deservedly beaten 2-0 by Iran last time out.
England started their campaign with a thumping 6-2 victory over the Iranians, but they were underwhelming in a goalless draw with the USA on Friday.
Referee
Slavko Vincic of Slovenia will be the referee for Wales vs England. You can find out more about the World Cup 2022 referees here.
Stadium
Wales vs England will be played at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan. Take a look at all of the World Cup 2022 stadiums and see how it ranks.
Players to watch / key battles
Gareth Bale has had a quiet tournament so far but he is still capable of producing moments of magic from nothing.
Harry Kane will hope to get off the mark for England, who must show greater attacking fluency than they did on matchday two.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup 2022 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for the World Cup 2022, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the World Cup 2022, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS5 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
