Thunder and lighting not withstanding, another quarter-final place will be decided at the Azteca Stadium this morning as Mexico host England.

Kick-off is at 02:00 BST (delayed by one hour).

The winner of this match will face Norway in Miami after Erling Haaland et al knocked Brazil out of the tournament on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS

Mexico are unchanged from their 2-0 last-32 win over Ecuador.

Goalkeeper Raul Rangel ($3.9m) is the only ‘El Tricolor’ player to boast more than 5% ownership in Fantasy. He is part of a defence that is yet to concede a goal at the tournament.

Julian Quinones ($5.6m) has notched 33 points in four matches, thanks to three goals and one assist. No Mexico player has more points.

Thomas Tuchel makes three changes for the Three Lions.

Jarell Quansah ($4.4m), Bukayo Saka ($9.5m) and Anthony Gordon ($7.0m) come into the side, with Djed Spence ($4.5m), Noni Madueke ($6.1m) and Marcus Rashford ($7.5m) dropping to the bench.

Five of England’s eleven starters are eligible for Scouting Bonus, including Ezri Konsa ($4.8m).

    It's ridiculous that 5-2-3 isn't a selectable formation.

    Whenever I have watched England over the years, one thing always seems to repeat time after time, and that is the foreign opposition always look more technical and composed on the ball.

    Quite uncanny how it seems to repeat over the generations, despite the rise in talent we see.

    Anderson went for how much? He’s getting bullied out there.

      English players always much poorer for their nation, whereas frustratingly for other nations their player outperform compared to at their clubs (as they should).

      Look at Jimenez for example.

    How much more dangerous do Saka and Gordon look, than Rashford and Madueke?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

    England players should look at Jimenez and take a leaf from his book and actually over perform for their country!
