Line-ups revealed as Three Lions look to book spot at 2026 World Cup

England are just one win away from confirming their place at the 2026 World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel’s side travel to Latvia this evening knowing a win will be enough to guarantee their presence in the USA, Canada and Mexico next summer after Serbia’s loss at the weekend.

The Three Lions still have a job to do, though and will not be taking anything for granted as they look to get over the line.

And after a commanding performance and win over Wales a few days ago, there is no reason to believe there will be any slip-ups on their travels this week.

Read on to see how both teams line-up for this qualifying clash.

England team news

Tuchel has had plenty of selection headaches since taking over as England boss, and there have been a few eyebrow-raising picks so far in his tenure.

But the German head coach has not opted to change much from the win over Wales.

The main difference is that captain Harry Kane is back fit and available to lead the line, while Myles Lewis-Skelly gets another nod at left-back, with Djed Spence shifting to the right.

Elliot Anderson is also involved once again, as is Anthony Gordon, who comes in for Marcus Rashford.

England: Pickford, Konsa, Stones, Spence, Lewis-Shelly, Anderson, Rice, Saka, Rogers, Gordon, Kane
