The penultimate quarter-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup sees England and Norway meet in sweltering Miami.

Kick-off is at 22:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

There are two changes to the England line-up, one of which is in the problem right-back position.

Jarell Quansah ($4.4m) is suspended but it’s not Djed Spence ($4.5m) or Reece James ($5.2m) who take the Bayer Leverkusen defender’s place.

Instead, John Stones ($4.6m) comes in. That means Ezri Konsa ($4.8m) will switch to right-back, with Stones partnering Marc Guehi ($5.1m) at centre-half.

Guehi had been a minor concern for this match, along with Declan Rice ($7.0m), but both start.

In the other alteration, Noni Madueke ($6.1m) comes in for Bukayo Saka ($9.5m) on the right wing.

Norway make just one change from their excellent 2-1 win over Brazil.

Antonio Nusa ($6.1m) makes way for Andreas Schjelderup ($6.2m), who came off the bench to assist both of Erling Haaland‘s ($10.5m) goals against Selecao.

LINE-UPS

England XI: Pickford, Konsa, Guehi, Stones, O’Reilly, Anderson, Rice, Madueke, Bellingham, Gordon, Kane.

Subs: D Henderson, Trafford, Rashford, Chalobah, Burn, Mainoo, Rogers, Watkins, Eze, Toney, James, J Henderson, Saka, Spence.

Norway XI: Nyland, Ryerson, Ajer, Heggem, Moller-Wolfe, Berg, Berge, Odegaard, Schjelderup, Sorloth, Haaland.

Subs: Tangvik, Selvik, Thorsby, Ostigard, Larsen, Aursnes, Bjorkan, Pedersen, Thorstvedt, Aasgaard, Bobb, Hauge, Langas, Falchener, Nusa.

      Hi mate. Could you give me a good Bet Builder when the game's finished? Nothing too fancy just in case Paddy suspects something fishy and doesn't pay out. Cheers.

        My grandad really said, "I don't have much time."

        I thought he was about to reveal the winning lottery numbers.

        Instead, he said, "Betting is a trap."

    The corrupt Real Madrid ref Clement Turpin who hammers English teams in the UCL is tonight's ref.

    4 England players on a YC, if he gives any of them a card they would miss the game against Argentina.

    Bellingham
    Rice
    Guehi

    Still seems so odd for me that Madueke is here... such a nothing player imo. I know Saka is injured(been pretty bad this season as well tbf, injury or no).

    I know it’s hot and humid, but this is dire from both teams. At least England look like they want to play.

      Sadly expected this. England been boring for the most part this WC and Norway now have to park the bus for the most part.
