England vs Albania: Match Preview

Tuchel has called up two uncapped players Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly for his first two games against Albania and Latvia.

It is still unknown how the former Chelsea boss will line up for his first game but plenty of people expect a three-at-the-back system as we saw with the Blues during their famous 2021 UEFA Champions League success.

Striker and captain Harry Kane worked with Tuchel at Bayern Munich and knows first-hand what he expects from a centre-forward. Marcus Rashford has been much better after he was loaned to Aston Villa and intrigue surrounds his inclusion.

As for the visitors, they are managed by Sylvinho who also previously held spells in the dugout for Ligue 1 giants Lyon and also Brazilian outfit Corinthians.

Albania last played England back in November 2021 during a World Cup qualifier and lost 5-1. Kane netted a hat-trick for the Three Lions whilst Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson also found the net.
