England<\/a> ramp up their World Cup preparations <\/a>with their first warm-up outing as they face the competition\u2019s lowest ranked nation New Zealand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel<\/a>\u2019s side landed in Miami earlier this week, gearing up for their bid to end 60 years without a major international trophy.<\/p>\n

They will now go through their first of two tune-ups before the tournament gets underway, something fans may see as much-needed after England emerged on the losing side in their previous outing against Japan<\/a> back in March.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s World Cup campaign<\/a> begins in 11 days when they take on Croatia<\/a> in their Group L opener in Dallas.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s clash with New Zealand kicks off at 9pm BST on Saturday 6 June and the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.<\/p>\n

Team news<\/p>\n

Tuchel\u2019s squad<\/a> is yet to be at full strength with Arsenal<\/a> quartet Declan Rice<\/a>, Bukayo Saka<\/a>, Eberechi Eze<\/a> and Noni Madueke<\/a> being given more time to recuperate after the Champions League final. Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> could start in Rice\u2019s absence while Morgan Rogers<\/a> may operate on the right, allowing him to share the pitch with Jude Bellingham<\/a> ahead of their battle for the central role.<\/p>\n

New Zealand may welcome back Joe Bell who missed their previous outing with a leg injury but Ryan Thomas<\/a> is set to remain absent. Tim Payne<\/a>, the World Cup\u2019s so-called \u201cleast known player\u201d who has since gone mega-viral, is set to start.<\/p>\n

Predicted line-ups<\/p>\n

England XI: Pickford<\/a>; James, Konsa, Guehi<\/a>, O’Reilly; Anderson, Mainoo; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane.<\/p>\n
