England look to continue their hot run of form when they travel to Albania for their final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are hitting their stride in the build up to next summer’s tournament and became the first European nation to book their ticket to North America in October. With the top spot secured, nothing but pride and momentum are on the line against Albania, who have tied up second place and a play-off berth already.

Tuchel chose continuity over experimentation during Thursday’s 2–0 victory against Serbia and there’s an expectation that the German will field a familiar lineup in Tirana. One or two changes could be made, but Tuchel’s core group of favourites will be called upon for the upcoming dead rubber.

Few can argue with Tuchel’s recent selections considering England’s stellar form. They have won all seven qualifying matches to nil and are striking an impressive balance between attacking invention and defensive resilience. The weekend’s trip to Albania should yield another confident display.
