The line-up has dropped…

Some interesting selection decisions…

The game is live on BBC One this evening – here are all the details you need

Former Three Lions all-time scorer Wayne Rooney is back in the studio as a pundit alongside an all-star cast, too – we've got all the info on the Beeb's broadcasting team tonight.

So what are the permutations for this one?

It's not ideal – but if England get through their appointment with DR Congo and into the last-16, they're going to have to go away to the Azteca.

Mexico are up next for the winner of this one – and given their incredible record at the beautiful Mexico City stadium, it's going to be their biggest test yet (assuming, of course, they can come out with a result for this one).

Ready for this one?

It should be a straightforward game on paper. But there are no easy tests at this tournament, and DR Congo have been decent up until this point.

Given that England have struggled against deep blocks, will this one cause them more problems?
