The battle of the English to be witnessed at the Al Bayt Stadium tonight when England host USA in a crunchy second Group B clash.
The 'Three Lions' will set off with an ablaze start to the tourney after roaring over Iran with an emphatic 6-2 victory to revive hopes after a disappointing UEFA Nations League campaign just recently.
After a very tough challenge in the opening thirty minutes when many thought Iran were on the verge of pulling an upset, Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka- who subsequently got a brace put England into a three goal lead before half time and started a riot which was continued in the second phase.
However, the Stars and Strips had their first half lead through Timothy Weah cancelled by Gareth Bale's second half penalty to share spoils with Wales in their opening game.
They looked really dominant in the first half and squandered some decent opportunities- and misfortune befall on them after a complete turnaround in the second half and will need a victory at all cost today to boost their chances of qualification.
TEAM NEWS
Gareth Southgate is still sweating on the fitness of Harry Maguire and Harry Kane- who contributed three goals combined in their last game due to a knock they sustained in the course.
On the opposition end, Yunus Musah left their last game after 74 minutes due to a muscle injury and is very doubtful for tonight.
