"England are playing their final two World Cup qualifiers this week, with Serbia and Albania their opponents as Thomas Tuchel gets another chance to fine-tune his squad. With the Three Lions already qualified for next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico, these will be the final two competitive fixtures that England will participate in before trying to end their 60-year wait for glory."
"And that will be down to not only England's dominance in this fixture, but also their impressive start to life under Tuchel since he replaced Gareth Southgate back in January. Indeed, England have won their last nine competitive matches and are looking to win 10 in a row for just the second time in their history - they won 10 consecutive European Championship qualifiers between September 2014 and October 2015."
England face Serbia and Albania in their final two World Cup qualifiers, with both fixtures serving as the last competitive matches before the 2026 tournament. England have already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Wembley Stadium will host the penultimate Group K game. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden return to the squad, and Alex Scott receives a first senior call-up. Serbia must win to keep qualification hopes alive after a 5-0 defeat in Belgrade. Opta simulations give England a 70.2% chance of victory, with Serbia at 12.9% and draws at 16.8%. England have scored 18 goals and conceded none in six Group K matches.
