"England enter this clash in imperious form. Tuchel's side confirmed qualification last month with a 5-0 demolition of Latvia, extending their perfect run in Group K. They have not conceded a single goal in qualifying and are chasing a fifth consecutive clean sheet across all competitions. After a pair of underwhelming displays against Andorra earlier in the campaign, England have rediscovered their attacking rhythm, scoring five or more goals in back-to-back competitive fixtures."
"Tuchel has welcomed back Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden into the squad after both missed October's internationals. However, only one of the two may start, with Bellingham favored for the No.10 role behind Kane. Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford are expected to occupy the flanks, while Declan Rice partners Elliot Anderson in midfield, forcing newcomer Alex Scott to wait for his chance."
Wembley hosts England's final home World Cup 2026 qualifier against Serbia, with England already qualified after six wins, 18 goals scored and none conceded. Thomas Tuchel's side seek a fifth consecutive clean sheet and have regained attacking form after earlier poor displays, scoring five or more goals in back-to-back competitive matches. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden return to the squad, with Bellingham favored to start. Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford project to occupy the flanks. Marc Guehi is a doubt, Ezri Konsa may partner John Stones, and Jordan Pickford remains yet to concede in Group K. Serbia pursue a playoff spot under Veljko Paunovic amid a turbulent campaign.
