England is loaded with elite Premier League talent and enters this World Cup Round of 32 clash as clear favorites despite a right-back injury crisis with Reece James and Jarell Quansah both sidelined. Tuchel's squad depth — with Declan Rice pushing for a return and world-class attacking options throughout — far outclasses DR Congo at every level. A defensive patchwork job doesn't erase England's overwhelming talent advantage in a knockout game.
