We look ahead to the 2018 World Cup and look to see which England player will score the most goals
Gareth Southgate has named his England team and it appears likely that the Three Lions will play at least four games at the 2018 World Cup considering they have Tunisia and Panama in their group.

Who top scores for the Three Lions?
You can find good England special markets at Bet365 and that includes top England scorer where we have an obvious favourite at the top of the betting in Harry Kane.
Kane is currently trading at evens with bet365* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) to score the most goals for England, with the Tottenham forward likely to be on penalties although some will feel that price is too short about a player likely to be heavily marked.
Raheem Sterling comes into the World Cup after a fine title-winning campaign with Manchester City and he can be backed at 6/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) to lead the England scoring charts, while Dele Alli is the same price and will look to get in advanced positions.
Bench Back Up Options
Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford look likely to be on the bench for the World Cup opener against Tunisia, although the pair are both 10/1 and 8/1 respectively* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) if you fancy them to notch the most for England this summer, with Danny Welbeck available at odds of 16/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018).
We’ve seen England experience plenty of big tournament heartache over the past decades and they have often exited after losing a penalty shoot-out, with bet365 offering 5/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) that Gareth Southgate’s team are beaten on spot kicks.
Stage of Elimination
England fans can also bet on the stage of the tournament that their team will reach, with bet365 anticipating that the team will reach either the last sixteen or last eight of the tournament.
Both of these outcomes are trading at 11/5* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018), while an unthinkable group stage exit can be backed at 5/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) should you think that England will finish third or fourth in their particular group.
If you think England can excel in Russia, then odds of 5/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) are available that the Three Lions are beaten in the semi-finals, while a final defeat is 10/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) and a World Cup triumph can be backed at 16/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) for the optimistic fans amongst us.

Indeed, you can bet on the Stage of Elimination when it comes to any team, with Germany actually the shortest priced to go out at the last sixteen stage, while you can get 9/2* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) that they win the tournament and the same price is available that they lose in the last four.
Serbia are a good bet to endure a last sixteen defeat at 2/1* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018), while Mexico are famous for departing the competition at this stage is also a 2/1 poke* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018). Belgium look a good bet at 12/5* (betting odds taken at 3:34 a.m. on June 10th, 2018) to go out in the last eight, while Denmark are 13/8 to go out in the last sixteen and are likely to face Argentina or Croatia should they make it to that stage.
