Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has named France as his favourite country to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

France play Australia in their opening match in Group D on Tuesday evening and will later face Denmark and Tunisia.

Didier Deschamps’ side has already lost the likes of Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante, Presnel Kimpembe and Christopher Nkunku to injury.

Wenger, who is one of the most successful managers the Premier League has ever seen, told Wettbasis: “My number-one favourite is France. Not because I’m French by birth but because this Equipe Tricolore has the best attack.”
