England fans are hoping for a repeat result against Ghana took to the streets of Boston on Tuesday, as thousands of supporters prepared for the team's second World Cup clash.

Thomas Tuchel kept Tuesday's team sheet under wraps until an eleventh-hour leak, with just two changes to England's starting line-up.

Marc Guehi has been called up to bolster England's defence, with Djed Spence also set to start against Ghana.

The starting 11 was expected to be similar to the squad that triumphed over Croatia, waltzing to a 4-2 victory in Dallas last week.

Taking place at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts - a venue usually home to the New England Patriots, both teams are set to take to the pitch for a 9pm kick-off.

England supporters covered in face paint and dressed as Beefeaters - and even the late Queen, in jubilant spirits as they took to the streets of Boston.

A frustrating first half for England that saw the scoreline stay at 0-0, Ghana continue to shut down England's attacks.

  • England are building momentum

    It feels as though the tides have changed, as England continues to build momentum. 

    There's a fresh energy to England. 

    But as we know so well, that doesn't equate to goals.

  • England hit the crossbar

    A series of shots on target put Ghana under pressure, culminating in a strike that ricochets off the crossbar. 

    A clean strike from Harry Kane is saved by the goalkeeper, with the rebound coming close. 

    But still no illusive goal.
