England vs Mexico: Head to head
Mexico has hosted the tournament twice before, reaching the quarter-finals on both occasions.
They are unbeaten at home in the World Cup and have not lost in a competitive match in Mexico City since 2013.
The Three Lions have played six times at the Azteca since 1969 and have won just twice.
Their most recent game at this stadium was a 2-1 loss to Argentina following Diego Maradona’s ‘hand of God’ goal.
Harry Kane is looking forward to the match, however noted that it will be a tough test.
He said: “The atmosphere will be amazing. It will be difficult for many different reasons but in the end, if you want to be world champions, you have to go through difficult games, good teams, Mexico at home.
“We have to be ready but for now I want to enjoy this time, I want to recover, rest, and obviously I will focus on this Sunday.
“It is clear that they have won all the games so far in this competition but they are playing at home.
“The fans will be following them so we will have to be ready, no doubt, but talk about our quality and being ourselves in every game.”
