England and Italy are set to go head to head in the early hours of Saturday morning, with great interest all around the world as to how the two teams will get on during their first outings at the World Cup. 

With a vast expat community of both English and Italian fans we thought it the ideal opportunity to gauge the feeling of fans both in the UAE and abroad ahead of the big game in Group D.

So, using our official World Cup hashtag #Sport360WC, we reached out to our Twitter followers to see who they were backing this evening.

The majority saw it as being a tight one and, as you'll see in our preview and predicitons piece, we seem in agreement that the odd goal could seal the win in either side's favour.
