The next lot of Group L matches get underway on Tuesday night, as England and Ghana aim to make it two wins from two.

Kick-off in Boston is at 21:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Thomas Tuchel makes two changes from England’s impressive victory over Croatia, and they’re both in defence. Marc Guehi ($5.1m) and Djed Spence ($4.5m) replace John Stones ($4.6m) and Nico O’Reilly ($4.7m).

This means that Bukayo Saka ($9.5m) remains a substitute, and Anthony Gordon ($7.0m) is still preferred to goal-scoring understudy Marcus Rashford ($7.5m).

As for Ghana, there are four changes from the 1-0 over Panama. Thomas Partey ($6.2m) starts, having been denied entry into Canada last week. Also entering the XI are Inaki Williams ($5.9m), Kwasi Sibo ($4.7m) and goalkeeper Benjamin Asare ($3.8m).

Out go Lawrence Ati Zigi ($4.0m), Elisha Owusu ($5.3m), Ernest Nuamah ($5.0m) and former Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana ($5.1m).
