ENGLAND are back in World Cup action against Wales in Tuesday’s Group B showdown at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.
Four days after their emphatic 6-2 victory over Iran, England return to action against the United States.There’s a real feel-good factor around the Three Lions camp after their opening result, and they are overwhelming favourites to double down on Friday.
Gareth Southgate’s side can confirm their place in the World Cup last-16 stage with victory.
And three points will go a long way to securing top position in Group B, and theoretically secure an easier tie in the knockout stages.
But it’s not all positive. There’s been questions surrounding England captain Harry Kane, who will have a scan on his right ankle this week.
England won the last meeting between these two sides in a friendly in 2018 with Jesse Lingard, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Callum Wilson on the scoresheet.
The States will be disappointed with a point against Wales in their opener.
Gregg Berhalter’s side were cruising in the first half but didn’t make their dominance count and were eventually pegged back by a Gareth Bale penalty.
