England have reached the last 16 of the World Cup, but manager Gareth Southgate has warned they will face a “very dangerous team” in their next game.
England beat Wales 3-0 at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar last night and play Senegal on Sunday.
Senegal are 18th in the FIFA world rankings, while England are fifth.
Southgate said there was no room for complacency, though, and his players would be studying their competition between now and the clash.
He said of Senegal: “I haven’t been able to watch their games in the tournament.
“I saw them play Iran in Vienna in September, so I saw them well then.
“From now on, as soon as we get the coach to go home, we will be studying the games to prepare for the game.
“Obviously we know quite a few individuals, some big players playing in big leagues in Europe, some playing in England.”
And he added: “We know that we will be the favorites in the classification. We have to face it. But we play a very dangerous team.”

For Wales, Tuesday night’s game was one of disappointment and devastation as they were left behind by the talents of 25-year-old Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.
He scored two of England’s three goals, with the other going to Phil Foden.
Rashford has scored three goals in as many games at this World Cup despite struggling for form and fitness in the months leading up to the tournament.
He later said his goals were dedicated to his friend Garfield Hayward, who died of cancer days before the game.
Southgate said: “I went and saw [Rashford] in the summer, she had a long talk with him and had clear ideas about the things she thought she should think and do.
“You can see with his club there’s been happiness in his performances this year, and I have to say it’s shown on the training ground all the time with us.”
“We have a completely different version of the player we had at the Euros last summer, so he managed to produce those moments tonight.
“It could have been a hat-trick, really, with the chance in the first half and then the one at the near post towards the end.
“But great for him and because it’s great for him, it’s great for us.”
England fans at the game were delighted, but some Welsh fans left before the final whistle.
John Holden, 65, from Nottingham, said: “It was absolutely amazing.
“Wales were so poor, even in the first half we were just playing with them, wearing them down – Rashford, in the second half, scared them.”
He added: “The fans were bouncing, we were absolutely bouncing and we still are.”
Scott Kind, 49, who lives in Qatar, said it was a “brilliant result” and on England’s hopes for the rest of the tournament, he added: “A decent second round draw and we’ll see , I don’t want to spoil. this.”

“I’m so proud, I’ve never been prouder.”
For the England players, there will be alcohol-free celebrations, due to Qatari rules, before they settle down to concentrate on the work ahead.
Southgate said: “We have a lot of shakes in the hotel.
“Everything is different, right? We’re accepting it.
“We love our base camp, the people who are running the hotel are fabulous people. We really couldn’t be happier.
“We’re enjoying each other’s company and the players are really tight, so we’re really happy so far
“Of course, the big business starts now, really.”
