Here is everything you need to look out for in the Group L encounter.
Both nations opened their FIFA World Cup 26™ campaigns with victories and another win here would put either side into the Round of 32.
England kicked off with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Croatia. Thomas Tuchel's team looked dangerous throughout and showed the attacking firepower that has made them one of the favourites to challenge for the trophy.
Ghana also began with three points after edging past Panama 1-0. The Black Stars produced a disciplined display and will take confidence from shutting out their opponents in their opening match.

Harry Kane once again demonstrated his importance to England with a leading role in the win over Croatia. His Attacking Influence score of 7.0 is one of the best of the tournament so far and the Three Lions’ captain ranked ninth in the FIFA Power Rankings for Matchday 1.
Jude Bellingham was equally influential, combining technical quality with relentless energy in midfield. The Real Madrid star has become one of the most complete players in world football despite his young age. The all-action midfielder scored a 5.5 for Creativity Score and finished 34th in that category in the first round of the FIFA Power Rankings.
For Ghana, Mohammed Kudus is the man capable of producing moments of magic. His dribbling ability and eye for goal make him a constant threat whenever he gets on the ball in advanced areas.
Defensively, much could depend on Alexander Djiku. The experienced centre-back marshalled Ghana's back line superbly against Panama and will have a crucial role to play against England's star-studded attack.
England boss Thomas Tuchel threw the first pitch at the Kansas City Royals this week.
