England vs Latvia: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds, h2h

Having raised a few eyebrows with his first squad selection, Tuchel was able to hand debuts to Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn, whilst taking a look at the likes of Reece James, Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson.

England will be expected to follow up that win by claiming another three points against a Latvia side that won their opening qualification match by beating Andorra away from home.

The incentive for the winner is total control of Group K, even if qualification is still in its infancy.

England vs Latvia is scheduled for a 7.45pm GMT kick-off on Monday, March 24, 2025.

The match will take place at Wembley Stadium, London.

TV channel: In the UK, England vs Latvia is being shown live and free-to-air on ITV1 with coverage beginning at 7pm GMT.

Anthony Gordon has returned to Newcastle after suffering an injury in the dying moment of England’s win over Albania, so will play no part against Latvia. In his absence, and given the underwhelming performances of Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden, Jarrod Bowen could come in and Eberechi Eze will be pushing for minutes.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Jarell Quansah are in line to take his place in the matchday squad having been among the trio left out on Friday. “Morgan is an amazing character,” Tuchel said of the Nottingham Forest midfielder on Sunday. “He deserves a lot of praise.

“It’s also how we expect it to be because it should be an honour and it should be a privilege to play for England. The egos have to be put aside. That’s what everyone’s doing and Morgan does it in an impressive way.”

Further back, Marc Guehi will be hoping for an opportunity after being overlooked against Albania in favour of debutant Dan Burn, who endured a somewhat shaky debut. Ezri Konsa was a standout on Friday, so should keep his place. Myles Lewis-Skelly should also be handed another start after a fine, goalscoring first game in an England shirt

The Albania game was widely regarded as the tougher test of the two games. With England coming through that with relative ease, it bodes well for the visit of Latvia, who simply don’t possess near enough quality in their ranks.
