Both Tunisia and Panama are looking to get their first win of the World Cup following two group defeats.

Tunisia had a better game against England than against Belgium. The North African side managed two goals during their 5-2 loss to Belgium and also a goal against England during the group stage opener thanks to Ferjani Sassi’s penalty.

Panama are coming into this game on the back of a heavy defeat at the hands of England. Panama scored their first ever World Cup goal in that game, which came when Felipe Baloy following Ricardo Ávila’s free kick into the penalty area.

Gareth Southgate's been speaking out about England's 8 changes, saying he made his decision for two reasons: Giving players game time and avoiding injuries

Here's what he said:

'We've got some very good players who deserve the chance to play in a World Cup, and we've got players who may play tonight and then a knockout game in 3 days time which could lead to injuries'
