"Tuchel's team have already secured their spot at FIFA's flagship tournament taking place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year after storming through Group K. England have won all six of their matches without conceding a goal, with their latest victory seeing them thump Latvia as Harry Kane netted a brace at Daugavas Stadiona. But perhaps England's most complete performance came against Thursday's opponents, with five different goalscorers on target as they routed Serbia away from home."
"And having become the first side from the UEFA section of qualifying to book their spot at the World Cup, Tuchel explained now is not the time to change how his team operates. "Do you feel I was experimenting in the last matches?," Tuchel told reporters. "We want to build and keep on going. "I didn't feel that we were experimenting in the last two camps, and we will not start in this camp. We take it seriously, these are World Cup qualifiers - at home.""
England will not use the penultimate World Cup qualifier against Serbia to experiment with the squad. England already secured a World Cup place in the United States, Canada and Mexico after dominating Group K. England have won six qualifying matches without conceding, including a win over Latvia in which Harry Kane scored twice. The team previously routed Serbia away with five different goalscorers. England have won nine consecutive competitive matches and can reach ten in a row. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden returned to the squad, and Alex Scott received a first senior call-up. Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope withdrew; Trevoh Chalobah and James Trafford were called up.
