THREE TO WATCH

CHRISTIAN PULISIC The Chelsea winger may have struggled to make an impact in the Premier League, but he continues to produce for the US team. His exquisitel­y-timed pace through the Wales defence set up Weah for his goal, and his ability to beat men and draw fouls in dangerous areas is something England must handle.

YUNUS MUSAH The star, who turns 20 next Tuesday, played for England from Under-15s to Under-18s but chose to represent the US at senior level. An industriou­s, free-running midfielder with a quick turn of pace, he can pick up dangerous positions, although with England set to have more of the ball, he is likely to have to show a more defensive side.

TIM WEAH Scored a wonderful goal against Wales with a clinical finish to underline his status as one of the tournament’s most exciting young prospects.

The son of former Ballon d’or winner George Weah, the 22-year-old Lille striker has incredible pace, allied to clever movement and a deadly shot.
