England look to reach the last four of the World Cup as they face Norway in the scorching heat in Miami.
The Three Lions have been on a brilliant run so far to reach the quarter-finals, beating Mexico in their last game 3-2 at the Azteca Stadium.
A heroic effort from England, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, has boosted the confidence of the players and the nation.
Speaking ahead of tonight's game, England boss Thomas Tuchel said: "I think we took a big step in our last match, but it was only a step.
"We're still hungry, we still have dreams, and we still have a big goal to play for. The next step is to win the quarter-final."

John Stones expected to start with Ezri Konsa at right-back
Somewhat surprising news as John Stones is expected to start at centre-back alongside Marc Guehi, with Ezri Konsa at right-back.
The pair, who know Erling Haaland all too well, will partner, with Nico O'Reilly expected to start at left-back.
The decision may come as a little bit of a surprise given Konsa's strong history in dealing with Haaland, only conceding once to the Norwegian in five games back in 2022.
There had been speculation as to whether Dan Burn would start given his incredible contribution in England's last-16 clash, but the Newcastle defender will have to settle for the bench.
Interesting decision expected by Tuchel; full line-up confirmation in just under an hour.
