England Predicted XI (4-2-3-1)
GK: Pickford
DEF: Konsa, Guehi, Stones, Spence
MID: Anderson, Rice
FW: Saka, Rogers, Rashford; Kane
Thomas Tuchel is expected to keep faith with the same back four that played against Wales last week, with Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence alongside John Stones and Marc Guehi.
In midfield, Declan Rice anchors the pivot alongside Elliot Anderson. Anthony Gordon is replaced by Marcus Rashford.
Out wide, Bukayo Saka and Rashford provide pace and width, while Harry Kane remains undroppable through the middle.

GK: Zviedris
DEF: Savalnieks, Balodis, Cernomordijs, Jurkovskis
MID: Ciganiks, Zelenkovs, Varslavans, Ikaunieks
FW: Gutkovskis, Sits
Latvia are expected to stick with a traditional 4-4-2 shape, aiming to frustrate England and hit on the break.
Vladislavs Gutkovskis leads the line alongside Raimonds Krollis Sits, while Janis Ikaunieks may drift inside from the left to offer a creative outlet.
Marcis Ošs misses out so Daniels Balodis continues at centre-back.
Latvia will look to sit deep, keep their shape, and rely on set pieces or long balls for attacking moments.
AI Score Prediction: Latvia 0-4 England

Latvia Vs England Predicted Key Moments

Spence overlaps and whips in a low cross that Rashford taps home from six yards out.

Rice intercepts in midfield and starts the move. Saka cuts inside and curls one into the top corner from the edge of the box.
55′ – Third for England
Rogers finds space between the lines and slides a perfect ball into Kane, who finishes calmly past Zviedris.
78′ – England seal it
Substitute Bowen whips in a corner, and Guehi powers a header into the net to make it four.
Tactical Outlook
Expect England to adopt an aggressive, high-possession approach from the first whistle.
With Rice patrolling the base of midfield, Anderson and Rogers will look to overload central areas, while fullbacks Spence and Konsa provide width.
Latvia will sit in a low block, likely with 10 men behind the ball, trying to force England wide and crowd the box.
The key for England will be quick ball movement and pulling defenders out of position, especially using the flanks to stretch Latvia’s compact lines.
Set pieces could also be a key weapon, with Stones and Guehi posing an aerial threat.
Discipline Watch
The AI flags Zelenkovs and Rashford as potential yellow card risks.
Zelenkovs is expected to make several challenges in midfield and could get caught out by England’s quick transitions.
Rashford’s frustration when double-marked may boil over – something to monitor if the game stays tight early.
Final Thoughts
While Latvia will come with a plan to frustrate, the gulf in quality is expected to show across 90 minutes.
