England currently lead group L, with second-placed Ghana, level with the Three Lions on four points, playing Croatia in the other match.<\/p>\n
Both games kick-off at 22:00 BST on Saturday.<\/p>\n
If England match or better Ghana’s result without losing they will finish top.<\/p>\n
That would then set up a match against one of the eight best third-placed teams.<\/p>\n
If DR Congo beat Uzbekistan in their final group K match at 00:30 BST on Sunday, England will play the third-placed team in that group.<\/p>\n
That is almost certain to be DR Congo, bar a scenario whereby Portugal lose with a goal difference swing of seven between the teams. Then England would play Portugal.<\/p>\n
If DR Congo draw or lose then England will play Senegal, unless Croatia lose to Ghana and do not qualify in third.<\/p>\n
If that happens, England would play the third-placed team from Group J if they qualify. <\/p>\n
Third in Group J will be one of Austria or Algeria, who play each other in their final game.<\/p>\n
If the game is a draw, England would play Algeria.<\/p>\n
England could still play Austria if they lose by one goal.<\/p>\n
If Austria lose they are unlikely to qualify in third, in which case England play Senegal.<\/p>\n
If England were to finish second in their group, they would play the second-placed team in group K which is currently Portugal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
