England are sure of going through at least in third.
The Three Lions top the group ahead of Ghana on goal difference and face Panama in their final game on Saturday (20:00 BST).
Thomas Tuchel’s men must equal or better Ghana’s result against Croatia to remain at the summit and play a third-placed team.
If both games are draws, England win the group.
If both win, top spot would be decided on goal difference – England are currently on +2 and Ghana +1, but the Three Lions have scored three more goals.
Should goal difference finish identical, it will go to disciplinary record (England -1, Ghana -2) and then England would secure it on Fifa world ranking.
Ghana have already qualified and will secure a top-two finish if they win or draw against Croatia.
The Africans will top the group if they better England’s result, or win by a big enough margin to overtake them on goal difference.
Ghana will finish third if they lose, but have enough points.
Croatia must beat Ghana if they are to secure automatic qualification. A Croatia win and England dropping points would see them top the group.
A draw would secure safe passage in third. But they won’t qualify with a defeat.
Panama, who are yet to open their account, are already eliminated.
