Match Previews

Obtained a precious 2-1 win over Tunisia at the last assault. Kane scored both goals. Aiming at sealing qualification to knockout stage with win over Panama. Alli should not play.

England played a great first half against Tunisia as they immediately took the lead and kept creating several scoring chances. Having been reached to a draw due to a dubious penalty kick, they closed the half-time attacking. After the break, they failed to be as bright and dangerous as earlier on and they eventually managed to score a winner just well into injury time.

Kane has already proved all his value, scoring a fundamental brace against the African side. Walker was pretty naive causing the penalty kick which allowed Tunisia to equalise.

Thanks to their success over Tunisia, England could already seal their qualification to the knockout stage of the competition with a win over Panama.

Alli seems to have fully recovered after picking up a thigh injury against Tunisia. It looks like he won't be risked and is not expected to take part. Loftus-Cheek should thus replace him in the middle of the park. Otherwise, Dier could also be considered.

Walker is one yellow card away from ban.

Coach Southgate sustained a shoulder injury.

Sterling didn't play the best of games against Tunisia, missing an open goal. There was a theory he would be replaced by Rashford from the off. The latter impressed when coming on in the second half against the African side. At this point it looks like Sterling will start.

Vardy could represent an alternative to Kane up-front.

This is the first time ever England and Panama meet.
