The match will take place in Columbus, Ohio - this will spice things up even more, as Ohio was a key state for Trump in his path to the White House.

MEXICO - El Tri have the luxury of choosing between two in-form forwards, in Real Sociedad's Carlos Vela and Bayer Leverkusen's Javier Hernandez.

Former Arsenal man Vela scored in Sociedad's win over Atletico Madrid last weekend, while Hernandez has netted seven times this season.

Elsewhere, Jonathon dos Santos and Andres Guardado could also start as Mexico aim to stop their opponents' free-flowing game.
