The United States are back at the World Cup after missing out on the 2018 edition.
Gregg Berhalter has a squad with a number of exciting young players led by Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic, while the likes of Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson, and Weston McKennie could also have breakout campaigns on the global stage.
Wales are first up for the USMNT. LAFC star Gareth Bale is his nations's major star as they head into a first World Cup since 1958.
Below is the latest information on the potential starting lineup that Berhalter could choose ahead of the Group B match against Wales on November 21.
