Harry Kane available as England aim to secure World Cup qualification in Latvia
England aims to extend their perfect qualifying run with five wins and zero goals conceded, as striker Harry Kane returns to lead the team in a crucial away World Cup qualifier.
- On Tuesday, England can seal 2026 World Cup qualification with a win in Riga, having 15 points from five wins; this would guarantee their place with two games to spare.
- Under Thomas Tuchel, England's defence has kept eight clean sheets in nine matches and remains unbreached in qualifiers, with Jordan Pickford's five clean sheets leading UEFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

- The Opta model rates England with an 84.3% win probability, and Tuchel warns `you are not the favourite` despite Latvia's struggles against top sides.
