England face eliminated Panama needing only a point to finish top of Group L, with squad rotation expected ahead of the knockout stage.
England will look to wrap up top spot in Group L when they face Panama in their final FIFA World Cup 2026 group-stage fixture at New York/New Jersey Stadium on Saturday.
The Three Lions have already secured qualification for the Round of 32 after victories in their opening two matches and require only a draw to finish first. Panama, meanwhile, have been eliminated after back-to-back defeats and will be playing for pride.
Team News
England are expected to make several changes with qualification already assured.
Reece James has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Declan Rice remains a doubt after missing training with a calf issue. Should Rice be rested, Kobbie Mainoo or Elliot Anderson could start alongside Jude Bellingham in midfield.
Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford are pushing to return to the starting XI after beginning the previous match on the bench.
Panama have few fresh injury concerns but are expected to be without influential midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla, who remains a major doubt. Veteran captain Aníbal Godoy could feature after recovering from injury, although he is unlikely to start.
Predicted Lineups
Panama (5-4-1): Orlando Mosquera; Michael Murillo, Jiovany Ramos, José Córdoba, Andrés Andrade, César Blackman; Cristian Martínez, Carlos Harvey, Yoel Bárcenas, José Luis Rodríguez; Cecilio Waterman.
England (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford; Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, Nico O'Reilly; Kobbie Mainoo, Jude Bellingham; Bukayo Saka, Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford; Harry Kane.
Match Prediction
England are overwhelming favorites given the gulf in quality and their impressive form throughout the tournament.
Panama have yet to score in the competition and have struggled to create clear opportunities, while England possess attacking depth that should trouble Panama's compact defensive setup even if Thomas Tuchel rotates his squad.
With Harry Kane leading the line and creative support from Bellingham, Saka and Rashford, England should have enough quality to finish the group stage with another victory.
Prediction
Panama 0-3 England
