These are the England vs Albania confirmed lineups for their final World Cup qualifying match. This is a nothing match all things considered as both teams are guaranteed to finish where they stand anyway as the Three Lions runaway at the top of the group with 21 points. 14 points is enough to secure second place due to Serbia only having 10, which means this will mostly be an exercise in standards and continuing to alternate pairings for Thomas Tuchel.

England Team News
Dean Henderson starts with a back line of Dan Burn, Jarrel Quansah, John Stones, and Nico O’Reilly. Adam Wharton is with Declan Rice at the base of midfield with Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze, and Jarrod Bowen rounding out the attack.
Notable Changes
The manager rings the changes for what is effectively a pointless match for his side. The only holdovers are Kane, Stones, and Rice with other players getting their chance to impress or learn their roles under Tuchel.
Albania Team News
Thomas Strakosh is in goal with Elseid Hysaj, Berat Djimsiti, Naser Aliji, and Ardian Ismajli in the back line. Krisan Asllani, Wazim Lazi, Nadim Bajrani, and Yiber Ramadani are in midfield with Arber Hoxha, and Myrto Uzuni rounding things out.
Notable Changes
A few changes from their recent match, likely going a bit more defensive with Broja and Manah missing out. Arlind Ajeti was starting in the back line for the last match but misses out here.
