The same eleven that started the World Cup opener in Monterrey on Monday night will get the chance again.

Starting eleven:

Kristoffer Nordfeldt – Alexander Bernhardsson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Isak Hien, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, Gabriel Gudmundsson – Benjamin Nygren, Jesper Karlström, Yasin Ayari – Viktor Gyökeres, Alexander Isak.

"It will be the same eleven as last time. We played a good match against Tunisia and continuity feels like the best way to start. That said, we have a lot of competition for the starting spots and those who come in and finish the match can have a strong impact," says Graham Potter on the Football Association's website.

Ronald Koeman is betting on this Dutch eleven:

Bart Verbruggen – Denzel Dumfries, Jan Paul van Hecke, Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven – Ryan Gravenberch, Frenkie de Jong, Tijani Reijnders – Brian Brobbey, Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo.

Koeman makes one change after the 2-2 draw with Japan. Brobbey starts in place of Crysencio Summerville.

“The Netherlands are a very strong team and they are favorites in the group if you look at their individual quality,” says Potter.

The match in Group F kicks off at 7:00 PM and will be played at Houston Stadium.
