Latvia v England Predicted Starting Lineups in World Cup Qualified After Injury Update

Latvia and England will go head-to-head in a World Cup qualifier at the Daugava Stadium in Riga on Tuesday evening, with Thomas Tuchel’s side looking to guarantee themselves a first-placed finish in their group.
Latvia are on a tricky run of form at the moment and are currently without a win in their previous six games. It doesn’t get any easier for them on Thursday, as they face an England side who have won every single game in qualifying without conceding a goal.
Tuchel’s men continued their momentum with a friendly victory over Wales at the weekend, and attention now turns to competitive action in Latvia. This is how GIVEMESPORT expects the two teams to line up, with details on team news for both sides.
Latvia Team News
Latvia should have the same number of players to choose from in this game following their draw against Andorra. Roberts Uldrikis and Kristers Tobers were both unavailable for that game, and they look set to miss the home clash with England.
We could see the home side make some changes for this one, with manager Paolo Nicolato clearly not happy during the Andorra performances, making a triple change at half-time.
Latvia Predicted XI
Latvia Predicted XI: Zviedris; Savalnieks, Balodis, Cernomordijs, Jurkovskis, Ciganiks; Zelenkovs, Varslavans; Ikaunieks; Gutkovskis, Sits.
Latvia Predicted Substitutes: Orols (GK), Matrevics (GK), Melniks (DEF), Tonisevs (DEF), Jagodinskis (DEF), Veips (DEF), Saveljevs (MID), Vapne (MID), Grabovskis (MID), Regza (FWD), Daskevics (FWD), Pulis (FWD).
England Team News
Harry Kane could only watch on from the stands against Wales at the weekend due to injury, but he could return to the side for this one. Jarell Quansah recently withdrew from the squad and will be unavailable.
The latest player added to the injury list is Ollie Watkins, and he’s been ruled out of the trip to Latvia after colliding with a post against Wales. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see multiple changes for England heading into this game after Tuchel rotated his side for the friendly last week.
England Predicted XI
England Predicted XI: Pickford; Konsa, Guehi, Stones, Lewis-Skelly; Anderson, Rice; Saka, Eze, Rashford; Kane.
England Predicted Substitutes: Henderson (GK), Trafford (GK), Burn (DEF), O’Reilly (DEF), Spence (DEF), Henderson (MID), Gibbs-White (MID), Loftus-Cheek (MID), Rogers (FWD), Bowen (FWD), Gordon (FWD).
Arsenal quartet Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Bukayo Saka could all start for the away side, with Tuchel potentially making a few changes for this game. Marcus Rashford could come into the XI on the left-hand side of attack, as he looks to continue his impressive form from this season.
With Watkins ruled out due to injury, the fit-again Kane should come straight into the starting XI to lead the line for The Three Lions.
