Both teams are undefeated going into the game and the local media are calling for the Iranian public to fill the stadium to watch what promises to be the best game of the tournament so far.
Coach Edwards said: 'We are all excited about taking on the host nation, there is an air of expectancy around Iran as everyone has memories of the 1997 world cup qualification game's between the two countries.
'The boys have been playing well, we have developed a strong focus and belief in the process rather than just concentrating on the result, on Sunday this will be no different.
'There have been times when this has been a challenge due to the direct nature of some or our opponents as well as the occasion, but the pleasing aspect has been that with a few gentle reminders, we have stuck to our process and associated team tasks and the success so far has been the by-product.
In the other quarter-finals Iraq will play Kuwait, Korea Republic will meet Uzbekistan and Japan will take on Syria.
