England will be aiming to make it five wins from their opening five 2026 World Cup qualification matches when they make the trip to Belgrade on Tuesday to tackle a talented Serbia outfit.
The Three Lions are top of Group K on 12 points, five points ahead of second-placed Serbia, although the hosts, who are unbeaten in the section thus far, have a game in hand on their opponents here.
Serbia will be looking to claim at least a playoff spot, but a win in this contest would give them real confidence when it comes to a possible first-placed finish in the section.
Serbia have tackled England on one previous occasion, with the two teams locking horns in the group stage of Euro 2024 and it was the Three Lions that triumphed courtesy of a goal from Jude Bellingham.
England should have no problems qualifying for the World Cup, but it remains to be seen how they perform, with Tuchel under pressure, considering that the national side have made the final of the last two European Championships.
England have not reported any injury problems from their clash with Andorra last time out, and there are unlikely to be many changes from the side that took to the field for the first whistle.
Serbia are a strong team with a whole host of excellent players, and this is set to be a very tough test for England; we are struggling to back the Three Lions with any real confidence here and have had to settle on a draw.
