England are already top of Group K after a 2-0 home win over Albania on Friday. Another three points should be earned on Monday when they host Latvia who are second in the group. Could they upset the Three Lions? Read our match prediction.
Life under Thomas Tuchel began with a straightforward if not stunning win over Albania. The other countries in this group are Serbia and Andorra. Tuchel couldn't have picked a better group himself, there will be tougher tasks ahead that is for sure.
Latvia won 1-0 at Andorra on Friday and that has extended their unbeaten run in away World Cup qualifiers to five. They have never made it to the finals and are unlikely to change that statistic this time around. The Latvians will come to Wembley for the first time in survival mode just as Albania were on Friday. It would be a massive surprise if they were to earn even a point from this fixture.

England - Latvia: Form Analysis
Home games against Albania and Latvia are a gentle introduction for Thomas Tuchel. He is likely to get another win from this game but he still has a lot of work to do in the future. 2026 will be the 60th anniversary of England's only major title win, ironically against West Germany.
The comfortable 2-0 home win over Albania was England's fourth victory in a row since losing at home to Greece in the Nations League. Those four games have seen the Three Lions score 13 goals and a few more should be scored on Monday.
England have gone 32 World Cup qualifying matches without defeat.
This is their first ever match against Latvia. England are now unbeaten in their last 32 World Cup qualifiers. Only one of their last 24 matches has seen at least five goals scored.
Latvia are a lofty second in the group after winning 1-0 at Andorra on Friday evening. Only once in 2004 have they reached a major finals, that was in the European Championships. They first played in the World Cup in 1938 but have never reached the finals.
After this match, their next task is to win in the Nations League relegation play-offs. They had gone four games without a win before beating Andorra. They finished fifth of six in their last World Cup qualifying group, winning three games but two were against Gibraltar.

England & Latvia Squad Analysis
England are unlikely to be able to play Anthony Gordon in this match. After being suspended for the Carabao Cup Final, he came on as a substitute against Albania and was then injured. His hip injury has been described by Tuchel as "a bit worrying." Probably more so for his club manager. If he isn't able to be in the squad then Morgan Gibbs-White is likely to replace him after being omitted from Friday's matchday squad.
Tuchel is likely to make some changes.
England's new coach is likely to make a few changes for this match. Players such as Jordan Henderson, Jarrod Bowen and Reece James may come into the starting line-up for this second World Cup qualifier. He will want to see as many of the options he has as the German settles into his new job.
Latvia will have been glad to start their World Cup qualifying campaign with three points in Andorra. It is still a massively uphill task for them to finish in the top two. They will be parking the bus and more in an attempt to keep England out.
Deniss Melniks is expected to play despite only playing the first half against Andorra. Not coming out for the second 45 minutes was a tactical decision as the score was still 0-0. It worked as his replacement Dario Sits scored the winning goal and may start this match.

Our England vs Latvia Prediction
Another three points should be on the way for England on Monday. This is not a tough World Cup qualifying group with only Serbia likely to severely test them. Tuchel is likely to make a few changes for this game and more during it if the game is going well.
