England and Andorra will go head-to-head in a World Cup qualifying match at Villa Park on Saturday night, with Thomas Tuchel's side looking to continue their perfect start in Group K.
England have won all three of their opening matches of World Cup qualifying, and are yet to concede a goal in the tournament. The two sides have already met in this qualifying campaign back in June, with Tuchel's men securing a 1-0 victory away from home thanks to a goal from Harry Kane.
With the two national teams going head-to-head once again, GIVEMESPORT have predicted who could line up for either side heading into this game on Saturday night.

Bukayo Saka injured vs Leeds
England are missing a host of players heading into this game, with multiple regulars picking up injuries in recent weeks. Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, and Levi Colwill are among those who will be unavailable to face Andorra. There is plenty of competition for places in Tuchel's side, with the England boss leaving out the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Trevoh Chalobah, and Ivan Toney, among others.
Adam Wharton was recently removed from the squad due to injury, and he will be replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who hasn't been called up since 2018.
Tuchel Speaks on Squad Exclusions
Speaking after announcing his England squad, Tuchel has said that he doesn't like the phone calls he has to make when leaving players out of the squad...
"I don't like the phone calls [telling players they are not included] but I kind of like them because it shows we have players pushing and players fighting for a place in the squad. That's exactly what we want. We have made the squad more tight, more competitive. We have to create a better feeling, we have to bring more energy."
England Predicted XI

England Predicted XI: Pickford; James, Stones, Guehi, Livramento; Rice, Anderson; Rogers, Eze, Gordon; Kane.
England Predicted Substitutes: Henderson (GK), Trafford (GK), Burn (DEF), Konsa (DEF), Lewis-Skelly (DEF), Spence (DEF), Gibbs-White (MID), Henderson (MID), Loftus-Cheek (MID), Bowen (FWD), Madueke (FWD), Rashford (FWD), Watkins (FWD).
With Wharton and Bellingham unavailable for the midfield position, and Kobbie Mainoo failing to make the squad due to a lack of minutes, we could see Elliot Anderson come in to make his debut. The Nottingham Forest midfielder is more suited to a deeper midfield position than other options, and could form a strong partnership with Declan Rice.
Newcastle due Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento could be in line for a start, with the young duo already having a relationship on the left-hand side.
Andorra Predicted XI
Andorra Predicted XI: I. Alvarez; Dacu, Llovera, Garcia, Olivera; Babot, Rebes, Texeira; Cervos, Lopez, Fernandez.
