Behind-the-scenes as England stars get fitted up in £413 Marks and Spencer suits

England jet out to Russia for the World Cup on Tuesday and they certainly looked smart in their matching Marks and Spencer suits.

Gareth Southgate's side posed for their official pre-tournament squad photograph on Monday before departing their St George's Park base in Staffordshire for their World Cup base in Repino, near St Petersburg.

And a set of behind-the-scenes photographs captured the England players getting suited and booted as they prepare for the biggest event in world football.

The players changed into the £413 M&S navy three-piece suits, light blue shirts, silk stripe ties and black leather brogues before assembling for the photograph.

The Three Lions enter the tournament with spirits boosted by friendly wins over Nigeria and Costa Rica in the past 10 days, though expectations of success remain pretty low following recent tournament failures.

They open against Tunisia in Volgograd on Monday before playing Panama in Nizhny Novgorod on June 24 and Belgium in Kaliningrad on June 28.

Should England make it through the group stage, they're likely to face Poland or Colombia in the last-16.

The squad depart St George's Park for Birmingham Airport on Tuesday morning, taking a direct flight to St Petersburg, where they will board a coach and make the hour-long journey to their base at the ForRestMix Club in Repino.

They will continue their build-up with an open training session at the Spartak Zelenogorsk stadium - a 10 minute drive from the hotel - on Wednesday morning.

On Sunday, Southgate's men will fly from St Petersburg to Volgograd for the opening fixture on Monday.
