England take on Norway in Miami on Saturday night for a place in the World Cup semi-finals, where they would face either Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta next Wednesday. The heat is on as England's dream of ending 60 years of hurt is now just three wins away.
Norway's Threat and England's Defensive Shuffle
Standing in their way are a buoyant Norway side spearheaded by Erling Haaland. The Scandinavians are high on confidence after knocking Brazil out in the round of 16 and won't fear an England team who'll have to recover from Monday's epic 3-2 victory over Mexico.
With Jarell Quansah controversially banned for tonight's clash and a potential semi-final following his red card at the Estadio Azteca, Thomas Tuchel will be forced to reshuffle his defence. Marc Guehi has been nursing a hamstring injury while Declan Rice came down with a sickness bug earlier this week, but they both returned to training alongside Reece James on Friday.
Injury Updates and Weather Concerns
After missing England's last three games through injury, James hopes to be available in what would be a huge boost for Tuchel. Although a 10pm kick-off is the plan, scorching temperatures and forecasted thunderstorms around Hard Rock Stadium could force another delay.
Stay tuned as Mirror Football brings you updates direct from Miami and at home throughout the day.
