England are bidding to secure their place in the World Cup knockout rounds as they continue their campaign with a clash against Ghana in Boston.
A 4-2 win over Croatia represented an excellent start to England’s tournament, with Thomas Tuchel’s side in fine attacking touch and playing with a vibrancy that suggests real promise as they target World Cup glory. Tuchel is likely to keep changes minimal after such a strong showing, and may not risk Bukayo Saka again as the Arsenal winger continues to manage the achilles injury that has disrupted his training at this tournament. Their progression as table-toppers would be all but secure with victory here.
Ghana will pose a different threat to Croatia with Antoine Semenyo an obvious individual that Tuchel will be plotting to stop. The Manchester City forward has the capacity to challenge a backline that perhaps came out less in credit from England’s opener, while Thomas Partey is also set to feature – the Ghana midfielder missed their opening win over Panama having been denied entry to Canada while facing a rape charge.
