England will aim to officially secure their ticket to next summer's World Cup finals when they make the trip to face Latvia on Tuesday night.
Thomas Tuchel's England continue to go from strength to strength, with the German boss ticking off another milestone in midweek, his first friendly victory since replacing Gareth Southgate. The Three Lions blew Wales away with a ruthless first-half blitz, as Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka all found the net in a 3-0 win.
England stand as the last team in UEFA's World Cup qualifying still boasting both an unbeaten run and an unbreached defense. Tuchel's men have yet to concede a single goal, and victory in Riga would officially punch their ticket to the 2026 World Cup. Serbia's slip-up against Albania has left England four points clear at the top, with a game still in hand, putting qualification firmly within reach.
Latvia, meanwhile, face near-impossible odds of extending their qualifying campaign. Paolo Nicolato's side have managed just one win from six Group K matches and sit well adrift of the playoff spots. Their 1-1 draw with Andorra on Saturday summed up a year of frustration, with just one victory from their past 12 outings.
To have any mathematical chance, they must win both remaining fixtures, hope Albania lose twice, and somehow overturn the goal difference — a scenario that feels more fantasy than football.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.

Latvia vs. England lineups, team news
Latvia, meanwhile, are set to field a near-identical side to the one that drew with Andorra, though injuries to key figures Roberts Uldrikis and Kristers Tobers leave a notable void.
Dario Sits struggled to make an impact last time out and may cede his place to the experienced Janis Ikaunieks, whose 12 international goals make him the joint-highest active scorer alongside Vladislavs Gutkovskis.
Latvia predicted XI (5-2-1-2, right to left): Zviedris (GK) — Savalnieks, Balodis, Cernomordijs, Jurkovskis, Ciganiks — Zelenkovs, Varslavans — Ikaunieks — Gutkovskis, Sits.
Harry Kane is expected to return for England’s trip to Riga after sitting out the win over Wales, with Thomas Tuchel revealing he is “convinced” his captain will be fit despite recent ankle concerns.
The Three Lions boss will, however, be without Jarell Quansah, who has withdrawn as a precaution. With qualification within reach, Tuchel is unlikely to make sweeping changes, though Kane and Marcus Rashford could be recalled to inject freshness into the attack, possibly replacing Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins.
England predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Pickford (GK) — Konsa, Guehi, Stones, Spence — Anderson, Rice — Saka, Rogers, Rashford — Kane.
