England take on Latvia in their final World Cup qualifier of the March international break.
Thomas Tuchel's debut as England manager couldn't have gone any better. A convincing victory over Albania included a clean sheet and two goals with one coming from Myles Lewis-Skelly in his senior debut. As just the third non-British permanent manager in the country's history, Tuchel faces heavy pressure succeeding Gareth Southgate.
Back-to-back second place finishes at the UEFA Euros showcases what this England team is capable of come 2026. Tuchel's job, on the road to the World Cup, is to establish his system, build belief among the fans and find out who he can trust in his squad. The latter arguably the most important given the amount of talent in the ranks, but going two-for-two in his first international break in charge can go a long way heading into the summer.
Here's how England could line up against Latvia in the 2026 World Cup qualifying action.
