Mexico will host Honduras at the Azteca Stadium when the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers continue tomorrow.



The Mexicans are on high following two straight victories and another three points would put them in a good position to reach their fifth straight World Cup finals.



In other CONCACAF qualifiers, the United States play Trinidad and Tobago, the last place team in the group, while Costa Rica tackle El Salvador.



The battle among the top four is too close to call. Honduras and the United States have 13 points, followed by Mexico and Costa Rica with 12 each, while El Salvador and Trinidad have five points.



The first three advance automatically to next year\'s 32-team tournament in South Africa, and the fourth-place team faces a playoff with the fifth-place team from South America for another berth.



Meanwhile, in the European qualifiers England host Croatia at Wembley, Spain play visitors Estonia, Germany hosts Azerbaijan and Italy play Bulgaria.



England, The Netherlands and Spain are the only perfect teams in European qualifying, but only the Netherlands have secured their spot in South Africa.



England and Spain need a victory tomorrow to qualify.
