'Did the right thing' with Kane - Tuchel confirms captain's availability for Latvia

England are potentially 90 minutes away from booking their spot at next summer’s World Cup and know that a victory over Latvia in tonight’s match will guarantee them a place at the tournament.

The Three Lions sit top of their European group with a maximum of 15 points from their five matches and are yet to concede a goal during this qualifying campaign. It’s been an impressive start to Thomas Tuchel’s tenure with the German head coach winning six of his seven matches so far.

Such is the state of the group that England would secure top spot if they collect another three points and manage to qualify for the World Cup with two games remaining. Latvia, meanwhile, must win both of their next two matches to maintain the chance of a playoff place but that is highly unlikely.
