England vs Panama, LIVE World Cup 2018: Goals and latest reaction as Harry Kane scores hat-trick to seal progression to last-16

Fans celebrate England World Cup goal at Isle of Wight festival

England will be desperate to build on their dramatic late victory against Tunisia and take a commanding stance in Group G when they take on Panama. Gareth Southgate’s side played some of the best football any team has produced in the tournament in the opening 30 minutes, but hit a wall when Tunisia equalised from the spot.

England’s team appeared to have been leaked after a photographer snapped the line-up written on paper held by assistant manager Steve Holland. Marcus Rashford may start over Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek replaces the injured Dele Alli.

Panama marked their first ever World Cup appearance with a 3-0 defeat against Belgium. The Panamanians fought hard but fell short of quality in the final third, picking up five yellow cards in the process.

Odds

England: 1/4

Panama: 15/1

Draw: 5/1

Prediction

England 3 vs 0 Panama. Surely there is only one possible result in this game. Panama eventually crumbled under Belgium’s pressure and offered very little going forward. If England can replicate the standard of play they set in the opening exchanges against Tunisia, there is no reason why they can’t put a few past their opponents.

Gareth Southgate on the importance of topping the group, and who may play a part against Belgium on Thursday:

"We don't know but you would rather be in control of it than not. Confidence wise it was important that we were able to score goals, big moments for Jesse Lingard today especially, and Harry Kane getting his hat-trick.

"We want to keep momentum so we will have to have a think about exactly the team we want to put out. There's opportunities for players who need a match because they haven't played for a while but also we want to keep winning football matches, but it's a nice decision to have to make."
