Mexico v England Live Stream, TV Channel
Mexico v England will be shown live in the UK on ITV1, with kick off at 1:00am BST. Scottish viewers can also watch on STV.
The match takes place at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, 2,200 metres above sea level.
England face arguably the most daunting challenge of their World Cup campaign in the early hours of Monday morning, when Thomas Tuchel’s side take on tournament co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca in the last 16.
The Three Lions are through after a nervy 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo in Atlanta, where Brian Cipenga capitalised on sloppy defending to put Congo ahead before Harry Kane’s second-half double, his fifth and sixth goals of the tournament, sent England into the last 16.
It was England’s first World Cup win after conceding the opening goal since 1966, though the performance left plenty to be desired and Tuchel has admitted his players will be at a “huge disadvantage” due to the altitude in Mexico City.
England return to the Azteca for the first time since Diego Maradona’s infamous hand of God and goal of the century settled the 1986 quarter final, and Tuchel’s biggest selection dilemma remains at right back, where Reece James continues to be monitored but is not expected to be fit in time.
Djed Spence again covers, with Declan Rice having seemingly only suffered cramp and exhaustion when he came off late against Congo.
Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon are both pushing hard for starts out wide, with Jude Bellingham expected to continue in the number 10 role behind Kane.
Mexico have been one of the stories of this tournament, with four wins from four and not a single goal conceded heading into tonight.
Javier Aguirre’s side saw off a below-par Ecuador 2-0 in the last 32, with Julian Quinones opening the scoring before teeing up Raul Jimenez, ending an extraordinary eight game losing streak in World Cup knockout matches that stretched back four decades.
The Azteca factor is impossible to ignore.
Mexico have never lost a World Cup match at the ground across eight wins and two draws, and their unbeaten streak at the stadium across all competitions stretches to 26 games since 2013.
The altitude, the heat, the crowd and the history all combine to make this one of the most intimidating venues in world football.
Seventeen year old Gilberto Mora is the tournament’s most exciting young talent, having become the second youngest player to start a World Cup knockout match, just 20 days older than Pele in 1958.
Aguirre must decide whether to persist with the Tijuana wonderkid or turn to the more experienced Brian Gutierrez, with Quinones and Jimenez leading the attack in either case. Mexico have no injury concerns coming into the game.
England have won each of the last four meetings with Mexico, though none have come since 2010. Despite the difficult conditions and Mexico’s outstanding home record, England have the individual quality across the pitch to find a way through if they can manage the altitude and stay in the game into the second half.
