STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Thurs: England v Serbia

England have already qualified for the World Cup finals in the USA next year, but will still want to finish their qualification campaign with a flourish on Thursday night, writes JOE CITRONE.

Although there have been times where England fans have been critical of their side’s style of play throughout this qualification campaign, booking their spot at the next World Cup hasn’t been too much of a challenge for the Three Lions.

They have already secured their place with two matches still to spare, with manager Thomas Tuchel now having the opportunity to tinker and experiment with some new options for these remaining games.

Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden have returned to the squad, and first caps could be awarded to Jarell Quansah, Alex Scott and Nico O’Reilly, who Tuchel will want to take a close look at over this international break.

Whilst England have little on the line on Thursday night, Serbia still have everything to play for with second-place in the group still very much up for grabs.

After back-to-back defeats, which included a 5-0 mauling at the hands of their Thursday opponents, Serbia bounced back with a 3-1 win over Andorra, which leaves them in third-place and one point behind Albania in second.

However, even if Tuchel decides to tinker and rotate in this one, I still think England should have the quality to seal a comfortable victory at Wembley Stadium on Thursday night. At 10/11 with starsports.bet, I like the look of an England win to nil.
