- Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel sees no reason why Gareth Southgate’s side can’t go one better in Russia.
FORMER Chelsea ace John Obi Mikel is tipping England to reach the last four of this summer’s World Cup.
Mikel is set to face the Three Lions today as his Nigeria side visit Wembley in a pre-tournament friendly.
England haven’t reached the last four of the World Cup since being knocked out by West Germany in 1990.
They were knocked out in the group stages four years ago and many suggest reaching the quarter-finals this time around would make it a successful tournament.
