Tallies two interceptions in win O'Reilly had two interceptions, one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Norway.

Impact O'Reilly did a decent job defensively, though he lacked offensive projection in the quarter-finals matchup.

He'll likely continue to play as a left-back in the final rounds of the international competition.

Hits post during 3-2 win O'Reilly recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Mexico. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.

Impact O'Reilly helped England pick up a 3-2 win over Mexico, which will see them take on Norway in the World Cup quarterfinals. The left-back hit the post from distance with his only shot of the game. The shot came shortly after halftime and would have put England 3-1 ahead. O'Reilly also picked up a yellow card in an unsavoury incident where he appeared to throw his elbow and catch the Mexican opposition. The defender has started four of the five matches so far in the tournament and has been crucial to Tuchel's team. He has taken at least one shot in each match but has only put one of the seven shots on target.

Struggles in win O'Reilly generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against the DR Congo.

Impact O'Reilly created a single chance during Wednesday's win and sent in a pair of crosses, but on the whole he had a match to forget. He couldn't get involved in the attack consistently and struggled for any sort of substantial role on the ball. O'Reilly has generally been a more periphery member of the squad throughout the tournament, struggling to put his mark on matches.

Creates two chances O'Reilly recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Panama.

Impact O'Reilly went the full 90 minutes on Saturday, completing 47 of his 50 passes while creating two chances and contributing three tackles won along with three clearances. The Manchester City fullback started two of England's three group-stage matches and showed strong two-way involvement throughout the round. Across those appearances, he recorded four successful dribbles, four tackles won, 16 duels won, and seven aerials won, an encouraging start to his World Cup campaign and a sign of his growing influence within the squad.

Decent debut shift O'Reilly recorded two shots (one on target), two chances created and won four duels in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact O'Reilly was given the start at left-back Wednesday and didn't leave the field for England, playing the entire 90. He earned a decent match as he joined the attack on several occasions, notching two shots and two chances created, although a bit was left to be desired in defense. He will look to continue in this role as the tournament moves forward, given some added help due to his flexibility of positioning when on the field.

The Manchester City academy graduate brings an exceptional combination of athleticism, composure and attacking output that makes him one of the most complete young defensive options in Europe, and manager Tuchel will be counting on him to be a consistent and dynamic presence on England's left flank throughout the competition. O'Reilly heads into the World Cup as one of the most anticipated young talents in the tournament, with Guardiola's assessment that he is so complete ringing in the ears of those who have watched his rise.

Two shots during draw O'Reilly registered two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact O'Reilly started at left-back Tuesday, but as the game evolved and they found themselves losing, he would take on more of a midfield role. He would find two shots in the draw and appeared to have a goal secured early in the second half before a poor effort on net. He still has his eyes set on winning a Young Player of the Year award, recording five goals and three assists this season.

The young left-back is expected to slot straight back into the starting lineup against the Gunners, having been one of the most important contributors to City's form this campaign. His availability is a massive boost for Guardiola as City look to take the initiative in what remains a tightly contested title race.

This will be something to monitor as they head into a massive clash with Arsenal that has title implications, potentially losing one of their biggest contributors this season for the biggest match of the season. There is a chance it could be due to caution with the big match ahead, likely what much of the club is hoping for.
