The Three Lions claimed a 2-0 victory in Tirana in the first of two Group I meetings before a 5-0 triumph at Wembley almost eight months later.<\/p>\n<h2>England Team News<\/h2>\n<p>Tuchel&#8217;s maiden Three Lions squad announcement saw both Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford return to the fold, while there were first call-ups for Newcastle United and Arsenal defenders Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Palmer, meanwhile, was forcibly withdrawn through injury and has since been replaced by Morgan Gibbs-White.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Pickford, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Kane look to be the most-nailed on starters. Phil Foden and Kyle Walker also look likely to start, and Gordon could battle it out with Rashford for the left-wing spot.<\/p>\n<h2>Albania Team News<\/h2>\n<p>As for the visitors, they are without Lazio right-back Elseid Hysaj and Al-Ittihad left-back Mario Mitaj due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>Everton striker Armando Broja, who was born and raised in England, is back in the Albania squad after missing out on November&#8217;s internationals, and the same can be said for Sivasspor forward Rey Manaj.<\/p>\n<p>Atalanta defender Berat Djimsiti is set to lead his country out as captain, with fellow Serie A defender Ardian Ismajli likely to be his partner in central defence. Also expect Inter Milan star Kristjan Asllani to start in midfield.<\/p>\n<h2>England vs Albania Confirmed Lineups<\/h2>\n<p><strong>England Lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pickford; Walker, Konsa, Burn, Lewis-Skelly; Jones, Rice; Foden, Bellingham, Rashford; Kane<\/p>\n<p><strong>Albania Lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Strakosha; Balliu, Ajeti, Djimsiti, Aliji; Asllani, Ramadani, Laci; Asani, Uzuni, Bajrami<\/p>\n<h2>England vs Albania Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>The UK&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\">best betting sites<\/a> have England as huge favourites to come out on top in Tuchel&#8217;s first outing at around 1\/7, while a draw is rated at around 7\/1 and a shock victory for Albania is priced at around 16\/1.<\/p>\n<p>Predicting results for a team who have appointed a new manager isn&#8217;t always easy, but the sheer quality available in the Three Lions squad makes this one fairly straightforward in our opinion.
