England’s rumoured starting XI

Thomas Tuchel is expected to keep faith with much of the side that defeated Croatia, although there could be one or two changes as England look to deal with Ghana’s pace on the counter-attack.

Predicted England XI:
Jordan Pickford; Trent Alexander-Arnold, John Stones, Marc Guéhi, Lewis Hall; Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham; Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford; Harry Kane.

Possible substitutes include Anthony Gordon, Eberechi Eze, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins should Tuchel decide to freshen things up during the match.

Can England qualify tonight?

England head into the game on the back of their entertaining 4-2 victory over Croatia, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also finding the net.

Ghana, meanwhile, left it late to beat Panama thanks to a dramatic winner, setting up a fascinating contest between the two Group L leaders.

A second successive victory would leave England in an excellent position heading into their final group game against Panama and could even secure qualification for the knockout stages depending on other results.
