Official lineups for England - DR Congo

England: Pickford, Spence, Konsa, Guehi, O’Reilly, Anderson, Rice, Madueke, Bellingham, Rashford, Kane.

DR Congo: M’Pasi-Nzau, Wan-Bissaka, Mbemba, Tuanzebe, Masuaku, Mukau, Moutoussamy, Sadiki, Mbuku, Wissa, Cipenga.

Kick-off in Atlanta is at 12pm local time and 5pm in London and Kinshasa.

England go into their last-32 clash with the Democratic Republic of Congo as overwhelming favourites to progress in their quest for a first World Cup title since 1966.

But the Three Lions will be wary of an upset in a tournament that has seen plenty already, against a resilient Congolese team that held European giants Portugal to a draw in the group stage.
