DR Congo v Uzbekistan (Sun, 00:30 BST)
Chris Sutton
Former England forward
I am covering this game with Alistair Bruce-Ball and expecting DR Congo to take the points.
Uzbekistan were quite weak when we saw them against Portugal and the DR Congo frontline of Yoane Wissa and Cedric Bakambu have impressed us.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
AI's prediction: 2-1
Colombia v Portugal (Sun, 00:30 BST)
Chris Sutton
Former England forward
This is big, because Portugal need the victory to top the group.
I saw their big win over Uzbekistan last time out, but this will be far tougher. I am going to go for a bit of an upset here, and for Colombia to get a draw.
Cristiano Ronaldo will get both of Portugal's goals but it won't be enough to see them top the group.
Not to worry though, because he will carry on until the 2040 World Cup!
Sutton's prediction: 2-2
AI's prediction: 1-2
Colombia have secured a top two spot and will win the group if they avoid defeat against Portugal on Sunday (00:30 BST).
The group winners will play a third-placed team.
Portugal must win to finish first, while a draw will lock second place.
Even if Portugal lose and DR Congo win, Roberto Martinez's team are six goals better off in goal difference so would likely take second.
DR Congo's only chance of second is to beat Uzbekistan and overhaul that goal difference. A win, however, will put them onto four points which will be enough in third.
Uzbekistan must win but can only finish third, and with goal difference of -7 the chances of taking a place in the next round on three points are slim.

I wouldn't twist too much if I was Tuchel. Perhaps it's time for Mainoo and, dare I say it, Henderson to step into central midfield though. Panama would suit Rogers too, and O'Reilly needs to back on the left for width.

Before their match against England, thousands of Panama fans have taken over Times Square in New York.
They certainly know how to party, with a band playing at the heart of the celebrations.

Panama may already be eliminated from the World Cup, but they still have something to play for.
Should they fail to score against England, they will become the seventh nation in World Cup history (and the first in 20 years) to complete an entire tournament without finding the net.
Bolivia were the first in 1930, losing 4-0 to both Yugoslavia and Brazil.
The Dutch East Indies followed in 1938, exiting after a 6-0 defeat to Hungary in the tournament’s straight knockout format.
Zaire (now DR Congo) endured a miserable 1974 campaign, losing 2-0 to Scotland, 9-0 to Yugoslavia and 3-0 to Brazil.
Canada then failed to find the net in 1986, suffering defeats to France (1-0), Hungary (2-0) and the Soviet Union (2-0).
China joined the unwanted list in 2002 after losses to Costa Rica (2-0), Brazil (4-0) and Türkiye (3-0), before Trinidad and Tobago became the most recent nation to do so in 2006, drawing 0-0 with Sweden before losing 2-0 to both England and Paraguay.

Chris Sutton
Former England forward
Image source, BBC SportThomas Tuchel's England half-time team talk obviously didn't work against Ghana. He got a lot of praise for what he said in the dressing room at the interval against Croatia as they claimed an impressive win, but this time it didn't work.
I am expecting Tuchel to make a few changes, but not a lot - they need to win this game. Harry Kane will start but maybe Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford will come in on the wings.
I'd like to see Tuchel start Saka, instead of Noni Madueke and Nico O'Reilly has to start at left-back rather than Djed Spence - he is a better all-round footballer.
Panama have only lost 1-0 in both their games so far, but I can see England winning this more comfortably. Kane will come good after missing that big late chance against Ghana, and he will be back in the goals.
Sutton's prediction: 0-3
AI's prediction: 0-3
Panama v England (22:00 BST)

England are a side that will relish the prospect of playing a team that push up the pitch - if Panama do try to press.
It was in the 93rd minute that Panama conceded against Ghana as they chased a winner.
When they lost the ball in the final third, Panama pressed high but Ghana played into their forwards quickly and they capitalised on the space that opened up.

Against Croatia - and in the qualifying games - it was clear Thomas Tuchel's game model was similarly built upon teasing opponents out of a stubborn defensive shape.
Against Ghana, England suffered because Carlos Queiroz's men offered an alternative blueprint that took away Tuchel's preferred conditions, instead sitting deep without applying forward pressure.
This kept Ghana compact between attack and defence.
It will be interesting to see if Panama adopt some of the tactics Ghana used so effectively.
They will, naturally, want to win, but as Panama are already eliminated and without an incentive, how motivated they will be and how many changes the coach, former Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen, makes to his side will be factors in terms of their performance.

Panama are a relatively unknown quantity, but they are an exciting team whose results do not paint a true picture of their performances in the tournament.
In their 1-0 defeats to Ghana and Croatia, there were periods of each game when the Central American side looked the better team.
But with arguably their best player Adalberto Carrasquilla injured, they have struggled to turn their impressive play into goals.
When Panama find themselves on the ball, they showcase strong technical quality to play out of the opposition's immediate pressure. Midfielder Cristian Martinez stands out in this regard.
One of England's biggest strengths this World Cup, however, has come from their counter-pressing - with even their biggest stars buying into working hard, crowding around the ball and winning it back immediately after losing it.
But if Panama can find short and quick combinations before they speed up play - either down the same wing or to the far-side winger with a switch - they could be dangerous.
Their fast attacks generally conclude in crosses rather than central through-balls.
Panama on the ball look good. They are willing to absorb pressure, playing neat small-space combinations, before looking to get it forward in a deliberate manner
Once Panama escape the initial pressure, they attack quickly and down the wings, before playing crosses into the box. Finishing those crosses is a tougher task for them than creating the chance in the first place
Panama v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
England may have enjoyed a comfortable 6-1 victory over Panama the last time they met in the World Cup group stages in 2018, but the Central American side's latest squad looks to be made of sterner stuff.
Yes, they have been eliminated from the World Cup after opening their Group L campaign with two defeats - but both Ghana and Croatia struggled to break down the world's 42nd-ranked side and only ran out 1-0 winners.
The Three Lions may well present a different level of attacking challenge for Panama, but BBC Sport's tactics correspondent Umir Irfan has been examining their strengths and believes England do have cause to be wary...

Panama v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)
That huge 6-1 win may be a historic one for England, but the Panama of 2018 is different to that of 2026.
Thomas Christiansen's side sit 42nd in the world rankings, above the likes of Cameroon, Slovakia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There are five England players still in the squad from the last time these met.
Goalscorers Kane and Stones started, as did goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and midfielder Jordan Henderson. Marcus Rashford was an unused substitute.

England won the game 6-1 - their biggest ever win at a World Cup - which sent them through to the knockout stages.
