All eyes will be the first to start XI Thomas Tuchel’s England boss as she prepares to face Albania tonight.
The German manager will be in charge of his England match in the capital after replacing Gareth Southgate as permanent boss with the goal of providing the three Lions with the World Cup in 2026.
Tuchel has appointed some surprise players on his 26-team team as he qualifies for the double-header, Albania and Latvia, some experienced heads back to the folding edge, and Dan Burn handed his first call at the age of 32.
The report shows that the former Chelsea boss is ready to name the Wembley conflict tonight, and bettors are hoping to guess what his first XI will look like.
There are a lot of questions in many positions, and we named the 23 players on the matchday team.
Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
Experience looks to be the title of Tuchel England, and in Jordan Pickford they have a goalkeeper who has done well in all four big games.
The 73-CAP international match should see Dean Henderson and James Trafford playing to keep the competition holding the No1 shirt.
Right back: Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker’s days as England International seem to be already numbered, but the experienced right-back is another old defender who looks to be part of Tachel’s plan at least for the time being.
Manchester City right-back currently on loan at AC Milan has far more games than Reece James has recently, so it should nod, despite whether Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold will be usurped by Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold when he returns with injury.
Central defender: Ezri Konsa
There may also be no obvious choice for the current centre-back, which neither John Stones nor Harry Maguire can be obtained, so Tuchel can turn to Ezri Konsa against Albania.
The England manager takes Champions League players very seriously, and Konsa has done the entire season for Aston Villa, which is the main difference between him and his defensive rivals in the team.
Central defender: Marc Guehi
Konsa looks to be teamed up by Marc Guehi, a regular at the 2024 European Cup and enjoying another impressive season for Crystal Palace.
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill will be hot on the close-up of Konsa and Guehi to force himself into Tuchel’s mind.
Leftback: Myles Lewis-Skelly
For all the experience talk in Tuchel’s roster, 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly has a chance to make her debut in the left back.
The junior has performed well at Arsenal this season and looks to be the best choice for Dan Burn and the all-purpose full basket Tino Livramento.

Midfielder: Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson’s choice is perhaps the most controversial in the Tuchel draft, and his potential choice in the starting XI will certainly be even more angry.
However, given the lack of depth in the defensive midfield, it is no surprise to see the Ajax midfielder roster from the very beginning.
Midfielder: Declan Rice
Henderson, along with Henderson, nailed his nails on the Declan Rice starter, rarely missing a game in the cabin centre in England.
Midfielder: Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham is another name that solidifies himself as a team show, becoming one of the hottest properties of world football against Real Madrid.
It will be interesting to see how Tuchel takes advantage of Bellingham, Southgate takes him further. However, we hope he will be slightly deeper in NO8 next to the rice.
Right: Phil Foden
It wasn’t the best season at the club level for Phil Foden, but he looked most likely to start from the right.
The six-time Premier League champions have more experience than Jarrod Bowen, and Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon are all more suitable for the left.
Forward: Harry Kane
Harry Kane will continue to move forward, and will remain the focus of England, although some begin to question his role in the national team.
The Bayern Munich striker is the ever-hit scorer in his national history, but Tuchel has slowly recovered Kane’s England career in the 2024 Euro 2024 campaign.
Left: Marcus Rashford
Another surprising call is the return of Marcus Rashford, and it’s no surprise to see the start of tonight’s progress again.
United’s man has been keen since joining Aston Villa, and Tuchel has spoken about his goal to get the 27-year-old back to his best form. The start of tonight will surely boost another confidence.
