England vs Kosovo
European Qualifiers Group A
7:45pm Tuesday 10th September

St. Mary’s Stadium

England seal of qualifying an unbeaten decade and can put 1 foot from the 2020 finals on Tuesday.
The 3 Lions are unbeaten in qualifying to Ukraine in their final World Cup 2010 qualifier beneath Fabio Capello.
Reaching championship finals is becoming somewhat of a given for English sides since then – but that defeat at 2009 came only two decades afterwards one of England’s wildest moments in recent history, when they missed out on Euro 2008 altogether after a shock home defeat to Croatia in their final qualifying match at Wembley.
Anything but defeat will ensure England extend what is currently the longest unbeaten run of qualifiers among ahead of their rivals, and sides into its second decade Spain, that are 24 games unbeaten.
Kosovo results show that may not be a simple task, however, once they haven’t lost any of their four qualifiers so far and came from behind to beat Czech Republic Saturday.
The state declared independence from Serbia from 2008 but did not play its first official game until 2014, and picked up a single stage in qualifying for World Cup 2018.
But four wins in their Nations League set and the goalscoring kind of Fenerbache striker Vedat Muqiri and Werder Bremen midfielder Milot Rashica – the latter injured for Tuesday’s game – have rocketed the nation drawn in exactly the same pot as Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands around second place in Group A.
Sky Sports News understands that Jadon Sancho will begin for England together with Marcus Rashford falling to the bench.
Southgate is expected to alter both full-backs – with the Ben Chilwell place to come in to Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose of Leicester along with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Southgate stated on Monday:”We may freshen the staff a bit, that’ll be important.
„We do not have to, everybody is fit and available. We need to make sure we get the balance right.
„We need to get the right defending and attacking profiles to make sure that we win the match.”
Harry Kane introduced his 23rd, 24th and 25th England goals to his tally on Saturday to become only the 13th player in England background to score many hat-tricks for the 3 Lions, and also the first since Michael Owen took home his next match ball after a friendly against Colombia back in 2005.
He was transferred by the trio against Bulgaria of kane beyond England good Sir Geoff Hurst at the all time goalscorer rankings, and although he still trails its chief Wayne Rooney by some 28 strikes, Southgate has supported his captain – gym – to break this record in time.
„I think that it will only be all on fitness and avoiding extended injuries – things that are out of your hands – but I’d think everything is there to really challenge it,” Southgate said.
„The fact of this is that there is a reason that only Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker and Wayne Rooney have got there, since it’s such a difficult challenge to stay healthy, the number-one choice, concentrated, and motivated to the lengthy period you will need to have the ability to receive the games and to find those goals.
„But if anybody has that strength of mentality, for sure it is Harry.”
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, Kosovo manager Bernard Challandes has issued an extraordinary warning to England within the”mad” pressing they’ll face from his side.
The trainer stunned watching colleagues in his press conference on Sunday as he shouted during an excuse of Kosovo’s strategic strategy.
„It is strategic pressing,” Challandes stated. „At a mad match, it is go, go back, move , go, go, go, go!
„Perhaps they shed the ball and we score, since gegenpressing isn’t only defence, it’s preparation for a target for us. It is, for me, mad pressing”
