talkSPORT are set to be behind England in trademark talkSPORT style as we broadcasts every single match of the World Cup in Qatar.

Graeme Souness and England great Stuart Pearce are just two of the pundits we'll have on hand as the Three Lions go for glory this winter.

The World Cup is a time for a number of the game's biggest names in football broadcasting to give us their first-class punditry.

With talkSPORT on the airwaves, and BBC and ITV both sharing the television coverage this year, here's who will be on the studio!

BBC

Didier Drogba will be among the star-studded crew of presenters and pundits on the Beeb this year.

The Chelsea legend will be alongside Vincent Kompany, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gilberto Silva, Pablo Zabaleta, Laura Georges and Mark Schwarzer in coverage of non-England matches.

Drogba scored 18 World Cup qualifier goals throughout his international career for Ivory Coast, including two at the finals themselves.

Rio Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Alex Scott, Jermaine Jenas, Ashley Williams, Ian Rush, Danny Gabbidon, Dion Dublin, Chris Sutton and Izzy Christensen will then be part of the BBC's team for matches involving England and Wales.

Their coverage will be fronted by four presenters including Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates.

ITV

Manchester United icon Roy Keane will be the man fronting ITV's coverage alongside Sky Sports regulars Gary Neville and Souness.

The trio will be joined by the likes of Arsenal legend Ian Wright, Karen Carney, Joe Cole, Eni Aluko, Nigel de Jong, Nadia Nadim and Hal Robson-Kanu.

Everton midfielder Andros Townsend will be on co-commentary duties as well as he continues to rehab from an ACL injury.

ITV's presenters include talkSPORT's Laura Woods, Mark Pougatch and Seema Jaswal as hosts.
