Recent form
England started well in the 4-2 win over Croatia but the 0-0 draw against Ghana has brought heavy criticism and Thomas Tuchel will be feeling some pressure.
Panama need a win to have any chance of going through in third place. They have so far lost both of their games.
What’s been said?
England boss Thomas Tuchel: “We will face another deep block in another kind of formation. We now see a back five. For many moments in the match we see a back six, we see a back seven.
“Normally we try to overload parts and areas in the match, try to overload and then accelerate quickly in this moment of overload.”
Panama manager Thomas Christiansen: “Now we have the last game against England, a good way to finish a World Cup if it goes our way. I think we have made changes from the last time they faced Panama eight years ago, but we need to show it tomorrow.
“It will be a tough one but I’m thinking that the team will be able to compete and do a good game.”
