USMNT lineup vs. England: Wright for Sargent the only change from Wales

Gregg Berhalter has opted for continuity in his team’s second World Cup game

The U.S. men’s national team has unveiled its lineup for a Black Friday showdown against England, and Gregg Berhalter has opted not to rock the boat.

Berhalter named 10 of the same starters that began the team’s opener against Wales, with Haji Wright starting in place of Josh Sargent in the only change.

Three U.S. starters enter the game having picked up yellow cards against Wales: Weston McKennie, Sergiño Dest and Tim Ream, with Kellyn Acosta also drawing a yellow late in the game.

Should any of those four pick up a yellow card against England, they would be suspended for Tuesday’s group finale against Iran.

For England, Gareth Southgate has named an unchanged team from a 6-2 win against Iran to open the tournament. Star forward Harry Kane passed a late fitness test after a slight injury scare with his ankle.

USMNT lineup vs England

Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Ream, Robinson; Adams, Musah, McKennie; Weah, Sargent, Pulisic

England lineup: Pickford; Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane.
