England will look to secure their place in the World Cup round-of-32 tonight when they face Ghana just outside Boston.
Thomas Tuchel’s men powered past Croatia in their Group L opener last week and will be hopeful of maintaining their 100% record against the African side.
Ghana also have three points after beating Panama thanks to Caleb Yirenkyi’s 95th-minute goal and a win for Carlo Queiroz’s men would see them through.
Here is all the team news ahead of the game.
