Thomas Tuchel began his tenure as England boss with a resounding win against Albania and there was a real buzz around Wembley as a new era began for the Three Lions on Friday night.

England will play at home again this week, with Latvia visiting for the second World Cup Qualifier in group K.

Despite the dominant win over Albania on matchday one, Tuchel is likely to ring the changes on Monday to give those who missed out a chance to impress against another low ranked opponent.

Almost everyone who started in the win last week is at threat of being rotated, but Harry Kane may retain his role after scoring his 70th international goal in the win.

Myles Lewis-Skelly was also on the scoresheet for England on his international debut against Albania but he could be replaced by another exciting young fullback in the form of Tino Livramento.

Latvia won their first qualifier by the skin of their teeth thanks to a Dario Sits goal, but beating opposition like Andorra is no real testament to how good the team really is.

There is no history between these two nations when it comes to the head to head matchup and this will be the first time that England have faced Latvia in any competition.

England lost another player from the camp over the weekend, with Anthony Gordon returning home to Newcastle after suffering a hip injury against Albania that left the 24-year-old in visible discomfort.

With nobody else to deputise on the left wing, Marcus Rashford could retain his spot in the starting lineup over West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

Tuchel is sure to rotate the squad for his second game in charge which could be good news for the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Jarell Quansah and Morgan Gibbs-White who were all left out altogether against Albania.

Deniss Melniks was withdrawn at half time against Andorra, but Latvia manager Paolo Nicolato was quick to say after the game that it was merely a tactical decision.

Unlike England, Latvia can’t afford to coast in a group where every point is absolutely crucial, so the visitors on Monday may stick to an unchanged lineup with no new injury concerns.

The UK’s best betting sites have England as the short priced favourites to win on Monday at 1/40, while a draw will pay out at 14/1 and a shock victory for Latvia is priced at a whopping 55/1.

England will be buoyed with confidence following their first victory under new manager Thomas Tuchel, and surely even if he rotates his team from the Albania win, the Three Lions should have too much firepower for their visitors.
