Thomas Tuchel named his starting XI, making three changes ahead of England’s World Cup semi-final against Argentina in Atlanta.

The German has made changes at full-back and on the right wing as Reece James, Djed Spence and Morgan Rogers come in for Ezri Konsa, Nico O'Reilly and Noni Madueke.

Meanwhile Argentina have made one change to the team that started their quarter-final victory over Switzerland, with Giuliano Simeone coming in for Rodrigo De Paul in midfield.

The winner will face Spain in Sunday's grand final in New Jersey.
