Team news & rosters

Position El Salvador roster
Goalkeepers Gonzalez, Carabantes, Guardado
Defenders Larin, Tamacas, Dominguez, Barahona, Gomez, Zavaleta, Vigil, Claros*
Midfielders Ceren, Orellana, Monterroza, Pineda, Roldan, Moreno, Cartagena, Osorio, Hernandez*, Mena*

It will be four decades next year since La Selecta last competed in the game's showpiece tournament, finishing stone-cold last at Spain 1982 - and they'll face a fight to end that absence from the world stage too.

Hugo Perez, promoted this year to the top job, will take heart that their defeats to Qatar and Mexico at the Gold Cup were narrow losses - but there is little room for error now.

Predicted El Salvador starting XI:  Gonzalez; Tamacas, Zavaleta, Gomez, Larin; Ceren, Roldan, Moreno; Perez, Rivas, Henriquez.

Position USMNT roster
Goalkeepers Steffen, Horvath, Turner
Defenders Yedlin, Ream, Brooks, Zimmerman, A. Robinson, Dest, M. Robinson, McKenzie, Sands, Bello
Midfielders Acosta, Lletget, Roldan, McKennie, Adams
Forwards Pulisic, Sargent, Reyna, Aaronson, Siebatcheu, De la Fuente, Pepi*

*denotes uncapped player

With just one loss to their name since a draw with Wales last November - a narrow reverse against Switzerland in May - the Stars and Stripes have been tough to put down under Gregg Berhalter's watch in recent months.

That form is surely set to carry across into their first qualifier for Qatar, with a fearsome squad of domestic and international talent - though several of the latter will miss out on this clash.

Predicted USMNT starting XI: Turner; Brooks, M. Robinson, Sands, Bello; Roldan, Acosta, Lletget; Reyna, De la Fuente, Pepi.
