George Ford will captain a starting XV which features three uncapped players, with Arthur Clark, Max Ojomoh, and Joe Carpenter all set to make their England debuts.

Among the replacements, Gabriel Oghre, Charlie Atkinson, and Oscar Beard could also earn their first England caps from the bench.

This fixture marks the eighth meeting between England and the USA, with England having won all previous encounters.

“We know the USA will present a tough challenge,” said Borthwick.
