This is the England confirmed lineup for their World Cup Qualifying clash with Latvia. Thomas Tuchel got his reign off to a strong start against Albania where some of his interesting selection choices proved to be useful as the team dominated the entire game. There are some questions heading into this one about possible rotation but we may have seen Tuchel’s actual preferred starting eleven already.

England Team News
Jordan Pickford starts in goal with a defensive line of Reece James, Marc Guehi, Exri Konsa, and Miles Lewis-Skelly. Declan Rice is in midfield with Jarrod Bowen, Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham, and Harry Kane all starting as attackers.
Notable Changes
There’s a few changes made to the lineup with Dan Burns dropping out and Bowen getting a start in the attack. Guehi coming in is a solid defensive partnership in the middle. Where the big question comes is whether this is more of a 4-3-3 or a 4-1-4-1 with Rice sitting and allowing those ahead of him to dominate the ball and pick Latvia apart. James’ role will also be one to watch, he’s operated in midfield a lot for Chelsea and may invert to help Rice instead of pushing forward.
