Mexico vs. England: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for U-20 FIFA World Cup 2017

Mexico and England will do battle in the quarter-finals of the 2017 FIFA Under-20 World Cup on Monday, pitting two of the most in-form teams in the tournament against each other.

The Three Lions travelled to South Korea with a very strong squad filled with experience on the senior level, but El Tri have flashed their potential as well, finshing ahead of Germany in the group stages before beating Senegal in the round of 16.

On paper, England are favourites, but Mexico's cohesive unit could give the team serious difficulties.

Preview

England's vaunted attack hasn't been at its best in the tournament so far, as the likes of Guinea and South Korea held them to a single goal and Costa Rica narrowly lost 2-1 in the round of 16.

The likes of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were expected to dominate defences throughout the tournament, but so far that has rarely happened, even if the players have impressed in stretches.

Bleacher Report's Matt Jones reserved special praise for Lookman, while looking ahead at what kind of role he could play next season at club level:

He's not the only one who should see plenty of minutes of the highest level. Everton team-mate Calvert-Lewin is also a highly touted prospect, while Maitland-Niles continues to improve in stretches and could be a factor at Arsenal. Every single member of the England squad plays his football in Britain, with many of them at the highest level.

In contract, not a single Mexican player has moved overseas, and only one does not ply his trade at home: Francisco Venegas, who plays for Everton de Vina del Mar in Chile.

That's not to say El Tri don't have special talents in their team. Ronaldo Cisneros and Diego Aguilar are both expected to move to major clubs in the near future.

It's clear the team has quickly built an excellent connection, however. Since a narrow―and somewhat disappointing―win over Vanuatu, Mexico have conceded just a single goal, against a Venezuelan team that look like favourites for the title at this point.

Mexico's defensive solidity should test the Three Lions, who have tons of individual class but need to do a better job of creating openings through passing to advance to the next round.
