England's round of 32 opponents and every World Cup knockout game as things stand

England have secured their place in the World Cup round of 32 ahead of their clash against Panama, after results in other groups went their way.

Thomas Tuchel's side picked up four points from their opening two group stage games against Croatia and Ghana, meaning they are at least guaranteed one of the eight third-placed qualification spots.

Of course, their final standing in Group L is yet to be decided. If they beat Panama on Saturday and better Ghana's result against Croatia, they will top the group.

At the moment, the Three Lions have a better goal difference (+1) than Carlos Queiroz's Ghana, but the latter could potentially overtake England if they record a hefty win over Croatia at Philadelphia Stadium.

So, who will England face in the round of 32 if they top Group L? If that scenario plays out, they will face the third-place team from one of Group I/J/K.

As things stand, they will take on Senegal.

AFCON winners Senegal, who boosted their goal difference with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Iraq in their Group I finale on Friday, will arguably be England's toughest test to date if that fixture takes place.

However, a win for Group K's DR Congo against Uzbekistan would see them play the Group L winners.

Algeria and Austria, meanwhile, are currently tied on three points in Group J, although the latter has a better goal difference. They will face each other on Saturday.

So what happens if England finish as runners-up? Tuchel's men will be scheduled to face the second-placed team from Group K, which will be decided in the upcoming clash between Colombia and Portugal.

Colombia currently sit top of the group and if they avoid defeat, England would take on Portugal, provided DR Congo don't beat Uzbekistan by a landslide.

Away from England's potential knockout stage opponent and nine round of 32 fixtures are currently confirmed, including co-hosts Canada, who will take on South Africa at Los Angeles Stadium on Sunday.
