England’s World Cup qualifying campaign continues at Villa Park on Saturday, with Andorra coming to the West Midlands, and Thomas Tuchel’s side will be expected to register another three points.
The Three Lions have won all three of their qualifying matches so far, but a 1-0 victory at Andorra was followed by a 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal at Wembley. Tuchel has come under pressure since then and the German knows his team needs an emphatic success over Andorra to send fans home happy.
This game may be more about performance than result for England. A home win should be a formality, but the hosts need to put on a show.

Thomas Tuchel is a relatively new England manager who is coming under pressure to entertain an increasingly bored and unenthused English public, so expect a positive approach from the first whistle. A focused and determined 90-minute performance can deliver an emphatic home victory, with 6-0 England perhaps the most likely scoreline.

Thomas Tuchel, like Mikel Arteta, likes to employ Declan Rice high up the pitch in a classic No. 8 position, giving the Arsenal midfielder the freedom to make things happen in the final third. With Rice doubtless encouraged by the home fans to have a few long-range shots at goal, the Gunner could be the value option for first-goalscorer honours.
Declan Rice
With Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka all missing this fixture through injury, the stage is set for other players to create goalscoring opportunities, and Declan Rice may get a role high up the pitch.
Rice has 66 caps to his name already and has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the country. The Arsenal man has five England goals to his name and can add to his haul on Saturday.
