England will qualify for next summer’s World Cup in the United States if they beat Latvia on Tuesday evening.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have won all five of their matches in qualifying so far and currently sit top of Group K.
Victory in Riga on Tuesday night will see the Three Lions top the group, and subsequently book their place at the tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico next year.
Harry Kane is set to return to England’s starting line-up for the qualifier, while Marcus Rashford could also be involved.
Off the pitch, it appears that the latter could secure himself a huge move next summer.
As per Football Insider, Rashford’s chances of signing permanently for Barcelona next year have been handed a huge boost.

The forward is currently on loan at the La Liga giants from Manchester United, having fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.
Since moving to Spain he has netted three times in ten games for Barcelona, who have the option to buy the player permanently at the end of the current campaign.
It is claimed that the La Liga champions have no plans to renew the contract of current forward Robert Lewandowski, who is set to be out contract at the end of the current season.
The report suggests that, while Lewandowski’s future has no direct impact on Rashford’s future, the Spanish side could have more funds to sign Rashford permanently if the Polish striker does depart.
Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 games for boyhood club Manchester United since progressing from the club’s youth system into the first team at Old Trafford.
His contract with Man United is set to run until the end of the 2027/28 season, but it appears increasingly likely that he will never play for the club again.
