WHAT HAPPENED? Gareth Southgate has chosen to stick with the same XI that began the win over Iran on Monday. Harry Kane has shaken off a possible ankle issue to start up top with Harry Maguire fit enough to start, too. Gregg Berhalter makes one change to the side that started the 1-1 draw with Wales with Haji Wright coming in for Norwich’s Josh Sargent. Gio Reyna remains on the bench.
