Brian McDermott has named an unchanged XIII for England's Rugby League World Cup clash with France on Saturday.
The 56-year-old coach has decided to maintain faith in his players, even despite falling to a 30-12 defeat in their opening game against Tonga.
England now face a serious battle to qualify for the semi-finals of the competition, needing to win both upcoming games against France and Papua New Guinea if they are to finish in the top-two of their group.
McDermott is still confident that his men can reach the last four and insisted that they are "heading in the right direction" after the Tonga loss.
In addition to the unchanged XIII, England will also take on France in Perth with the exact same 19-man squad.
Morgan Knowles remains unable to feature after picking up an injury before the Tonga game, with Luke Thompson set to continue at prop.
England captain George Williams will line up alongside Harry Smith and Mikey Lewis at half-back, keeping 2025 Super League Man Of Steel Jake Connor out of the team.
McDermott has also retained faith in AJ Brimson at full-back while Jack Welsby features among the interchanges.
With two wins needed from their next two matches, England play France at 07:35 BST on Saturday morning, before heading to Wollongong on 30th October where they will play take on Papua New Guinea.
The Three Lions are now as short as 1/100 to be eliminated in the group stages after their poor start and 14/1 to reach the final.
