This is an England predicted lineup for their World Cup Qualifier against Andorra. Matchday three of the 10 should be a formality in Group K with the Three Lions already looking strong following two dominant wins. Thomas Tuchel is still acclimating to his new role and might continue experimenting with pairings and player roles.

England Confirmed Lineup vs Andorra for World Cup Qualifying
How England Have Lined Up Recently
In the first competitive match under their new manager, a few new faces mixed in with reliable stalwarts. Jordan Pickford was in goal behind a defensive line of Kyle Walker, Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, and Myles Lewis Skelly. Curis Jones played alongside Declan Rice at the base of midfield while Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Marcus Rashford played behind Harry Kane.

Against Latvia there were some changes with Reece James coming into the defence at right-back and Marc Guehi partnering Konsa in the middle. Bellingham dropped back next to Rice to make room for Jarrod Bowen and Morgan Rogers in the attack. The rest of the lineup was the same.

The new manager has also been making use of his substitute bench to give Jordan Henderson and Anthony Gordon minutes. It’s clear he still has some doubts over his best eleven even if he’s got a solid five of six names guaranteed. One thing to consider was the injury absence of Cole Palmer who will likely have to find some way into the starters mix.
England Recent Form & Tactics
Tuchel has used a 4-2-3-1 setup familiar to those who watched his Chelsea team. He’s gotten off to a strong start as England boss with two wins by a combined five goal margin without conceding at all. Against Albania, his side had 75% of the possession, not allowing the opposition a single shot on target. The Latvia outing was just as dominant with 74% of the ball and 27 total shots created.

The former Paris Saint-Germain coach has a very simple idea, keep the ball, control the game, and prevent the opponent from ever getting a chance to hurt you. It’s an idea that helped a Blues team with very few natural goal scorers secure a Champions League win and has so far left the Three Lions’ opponents chasing shadows.
