England's reward for battling past DR Congo is a mouthwatering FIFA World Cup last-16 clash against tournament co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The match kicks off in the early hours of Monday, 6 July (UK time), with a place in the quarter-finals at stake.

Thomas Tuchel's side showed resilience to overturn a first-half deficit and secure a 2-1 victory over DR Congo, thanks to a brace from captain Harry Kane. That comeback has set up one of the most anticipated ties of the tournament, with England now facing a Mexico side inspired by home support and fresh from a convincing 2-0 win over Ecuador.

The Azteca is one of world football's most famous stadiums and promises a hostile atmosphere for England. More than 80,000 passionate Mexican supporters are expected to create an intimidating environment, while the high altitude of Mexico City will provide another challenge for the Three Lions.

England will need another composed display if they are to silence the home crowd and continue their quest for World Cup glory. With Harry Kane in form and confidence growing, Tuchel's men know victory would send them into a quarter-final against either Brazil or Norway.
