England will hope to win the group when they play Panama in New York at 02:45 on Sunday morning. The next match in Group 'L' will be between Ghana and Croatia in Philadelphia, also in the United States.

England beat Croatia 4-2 in their opening match in Dallas. But the team was then held to a goalless draw by Ghana. A win at the MetLife Stadium in New York would see England secure top spot in the group.

If England win the group, they will face Senegal in the last 32 and the second-placed team in the group between Ghana and Croatia will face Portugal in the knockout stage.

Panama is playing its second World Cup. The team has lost all five of its previous matches at the tournament. In its first World Cup in 2018, the team lost 6-1 to England.

England have made five changes from the team that played Ghana, with Jarrell Kwansa, Morgan Rodgers and Marcus Rashford in the playing 11. England have already reached the last 32.
