Manchester United defender Tom Thorpe believes Egypt's plight could help England's Under-20s book their place in the World Cup second round today.
Peter Taylor's side know a win will be enough to see them progress after draws in their first two matches.
Only a big win will do for Egypt and Manchester United defender Thorpe says that could help England.
He said: "If they push players on, then hopefully it will leave gaps for us to exploit.
"We feel we can win it, so we need to come away with three points."
