Colombia topped their group despite a surprise opening fixture loss to Japan, while England finished as runners-up to Belgium after impressive performances against Tunisia and Panama.

But England who are former world champions are unbeaten against Colombia having faced them five times previously.

Meanwhile, Colombia's main injury concern is that of James Rodriguez who was forced off the pitch in the fixture against Senegal after just 30 minutes and the team are expected to make a late decision on him.

Potential Colombia XI: Ospina; Arias, Mina, Sanchez, Mojica; Sanchez, Uribe; Cuadrado, Quintero, Rodriguez; Falcao.
