A bit of discussion to keep us all ticking over.<\/p>\n

Here are my five (in order) most-important players for England tonight against Mexico.<\/p>\n

1) Harry Kane – He can win this game on his own, he is that good. But he also needs to set the tone, lead and inspire the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

2) Jude Bellingham – Bellingham is a big-game player. Another clutch display here would be welcomed. His tackling, physicality, leadership and ball-carrying ability will also be crucial.<\/p>\n

3) Jarell Quansah – This one might surprise you but the inclusion of Quansah is a huge call and if he locks up Julian Quinones, England definitely have a chance. Thomas Tuchel clearly trusts the Bayer Leverkusen starlet, now he must repay that faith.<\/p>\n

4) Jordan Pickford – Pickford is a cornerstone of this team but he’s looked shaky all World Cup. He should never have been beaten at his near post against DR Congo and furthermore, this could, of course, go to penalties. England need the best version of their No.1.<\/p>\n

5) Bukayo Saka – Saka’s tournament has so far been disrupted by injury but there’s a reason Tuchel has been protecting him for the knockout stages. He can make opponents pay with his decisive actions and on a pitch like this, his creativity will be key for England.<\/p>\n
