England will be among the favourites to go all the way in America given their star-studded squad and form, having yet to drop a point in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
They will be aiming to go one better from their campaign in 2018, where they reached the semi-finals, losing to Croatia.
At the 2018 World Cup, England won two of their three group games, including a dominant 6-1 victory over Panama.
Ahead of the match, then-assistant Steve Holland appeared to accidentally leak England's teamsheet.
An image of a hand-written note bearing a line-up carried by Holland at England's training base emerged on social media.
It suggested Marcus Rashford was due to replace Raheem Sterling to start up front alongside Harry Kane, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes in for the injured Dele Alli in midfield.
But the leaked teamsheet didn't hold up as Sterling kept his place in the starting XI after featuring from the start against Tunisia in their previous game.
Loftus-Cheek, however, did start as he replaced Alli.
Who started England's World Cup game against Panama?
Jordan Pickford started in goal against Panama, with a back three consisting of Harry Maguire, John Stones and Kyle Walker, with Ashley Young and Kieran Tripper operating as full-backs.
Jesse Lingard, Jordan Henderson and Loftus-Cheek started in midfield, with Kane and Sterling up front.
England beat Panama 6-1, with Kane bagging a hat-trick. Stones scored a brace, with Lingard also getting on the score-sheet.
