An inspired second-half performance helped England overcome Croatia in a tricky opening group-stage fixture last Wednesday, as Thomas Tuchel made a winning start as Three Lions head coach at a major tournament.

England will be assured of a place in the knockout rounds if they get the better of Ghana in Boston, while victory would also guarantee top spot in Group L if Panama fail to beat Croatia.

The African outfit, boasting familiar faces including Antoine Semenyo, Thomas Partey, Inaki Williams and Jordan Ayew, will qualify for the last 32 if they pull off an upset and beat England, with a win also securing top spot if Croatia fail to beat Panama.
