Lionel Messi has the chance to pull clear of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland in the battle for the World Cup Golden Boot – and fire Argentina into the World Cup quarter-finals – this afternoon.

Defending champions Argentina face Egypt in Atlanta with Messi tied on seven goals with the France captain and Norway goal machine.

Egypt will look to throw a spanner in the works after enjoying their first-ever win in a World Cup knockout game over Australia in the round of 32.

Mohamed Salah remains their inspirational leader and the former Liverpool striker will be the man Argentina have to watch.
