Three Lions primed for US test
What: England v USA, Group B

Odds: England 11/20, Draw 10/3, USA 9/2
Gareth Southgate's England put down a solid foundation with a 6-2 win over Iran in their opening game of the World Cup.
While Southgate admitted after the full-time whistle there were areas for his side to work on, it was an impressive performance from the Three Lions who hit the ground running in Qatar.
The USA will provide a sterner test but one England will still be confident of overcoming.
Southgate received positive news on Thursday that skipper Harry Kane is available for the clash with the Stars and Stripes despite picking up an ankle injury against Iran.
Kane was subbed in the second-half but scans have confirmed no serious damage and it was a welcomed sight for England fans to see the Tottenham striker back in training ahead of Friday night’s game.
As for the US, head coach Gregg Berhalter and his side will be disappointed they did not claim all three points in their opener against Wales.
The US will look to make life difficult for England, but they will have to be far more clinical if they are to stand a chance of causing an upset.
England are available at 7/5 to be leading at both half-time and full-time at Al Bayt Stadium.
A must-win game for Wales
What: Wales v Iran, Group B
Where: Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan

Odds: Wales 21/20, Draw 9/4, Iran 14/5
After showing resilience to battle out a draw against the US, Wales boss Rob Page and his side will be fully aware of the importance of Friday’s showdown with Iran.
The Dragons struggled to get going against the Stars and Stripes and had talisman Gareth Bale to thank for dispatching his penalty when it mattered late on in the game.
Wales will take heart from what England were able to do against the Iranians, with Southgate’s side exposing flaws in their defence throughout their Group B opener.
The Welsh might have to do without Harry Wilson and Ethan Ampadu who both picked up knocks against the US, while Iran’s keeper Alireza Beiranvand suffered a head injury against the English and will be unavailable for Friday.
Wales won't have it all their own way on Friday and will have to be wary of Mehdi Taremi, after the Porto striker bagged himself a brace against the Three Lions.
Taremi is available at 7/2 to score anytime, while Bale is 7/4 to find the back of the net at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
