Possible lineups for England v Latvia

The Germany international's kickstarted his England journey with victory in the opening World Cup qualifier at Wembley, with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane striking to seal a 2-0 win over Albania. But Three Lions struggled to deliver the wow factor Tuchel had demanded earlier in the week when he claimed they were "afraid" to lose during their inconsistent run to the Euro 2024 final under predecessor Gareth Southgate.

"We can do better, we have to do better," the former Chelsea head coach said after the game. "The opponent was hard to wear down as they defended in a deep block." The Three Lions have the chance to make amends for their performance as they face Latvia on the second matchday of the Europe World Cup qualifiers, again at Wembley.

Latvia, led by former Italy under-21s manager Paolo Nicolato, entered World Cup qualifying as the 140th-ranked nation in the world, sitting in between Burundi and the Dominican Republic. But after starting their campaign with a 1-0 win away at Andorra, the visitors will relish the occasion no matter the scoreline.

Tuchel could rotate his squad with Levi Colwill, Marc Guehi, Morgan Rogers and Dominic Solanke among those bidding to force their way into the team. Morgan Gibbs-White has been included in the squad after missing out on Friday's win against Albania, while Jarrel Quansah, Aaron Ramsdale and Tino Livramento were the three players excluded from the 23-man list.

While Latvia have no fresh injury concerns since their win over Andorra - Melniks was withdrawn at half-time but for tactical reasons - England have lost Anthony Gordon due to a hip injury. The Newcastle winger pulled out of the squad over the weekend. When asked Sunday if there would be changes to his starting line-up, Tuchel responded: "Let's see. It's only the second day after the match and we need to be cautious."

England's possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Pìckford (GK); James, Guehi, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly; Jones, Rice; Bowen, Bellingham, Rashford; Kane.

Latvia's possible lineup (4-3-3): Zviedris (GK); Jurkovskis, Balodis, Cernomordijs; Savalnieks, Melniks, Savaljevs, Ciganiks; Zelenkovs, Ikaunieks; Gutkovskis.
