England play their final match before the World Cup tonight. The Three Lions are in Orlando to face Costa Rica as they contest the second of their two pre-tournament warm-up friendlies in Florida, before moving on to their training base in Kansas City this weekend ahead of next Wednesday's Group L opener against Croatia in Dallas. Thomas Tuchel will be looking for a convincing performance and result at Inter&Co Stadium after Harry Kane's late first-half header saw off New Zealand in sweltering Tampa on Saturday.
Team News and Lineups
Tuchel played different teams in each half of that match, with Liverpool's teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha - who isn't in the World Cup squad - earning man-of-the-match honours after coming off the bench. This evening's team should be much closer to the one that will start against Croatia, though the late-joining Arsenal contingent are expected to be on the bench amid concerns expressed by Tuchel over the fitness of Bukayo Saka.
Match Preview
