England vs Latvia LIVE: World Cup qualifier match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction
England continue their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup tonight as they host Latvia at Wembley. The Three Lions got up and running on Friday night with victory over Albania in Thomas Tuchel's first match in charge, as Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane scored in a routine 2-0 win.
On paper, this should be an even more comfortable night for England, against a side in Latvia who finished bottom of a Nations League group including North Macedonia, Armenia and the Faroe Islands. With Tuchel speaking about the need to bring excitement to the team, he will be keen for his players to turn on the style.
Anthony Gordon will miss tonight's match with injury, leaving Jarrod Bowen and Eberechi Eze as the likely options in wide areas if changes are made. Reece James and Morgan Rogers are among the others who could come into the side, while Marc Guehi is an option to replace Dan Burn.

17:33 , Matt Verri
Anthony Gordon has now returned to Newcastle after suffering a hip issue in the closing moments 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 the matchday 23 having been among the trio left out on Friday, though Aaron Ramsdale misses out again along with Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento.
Further back, Marc Guehi will be hoping for an opportunity after being overlooked against Albania in favour of debutant Dan Burn. 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.
Predicted England XI: Pickford; James, Konsa, Guehi, Lewis-Skelly; Rogers, Rice, Bellingham; Foden, Kane, Rashford

Why Manchester United's Mason Mount is valued by his managers
The footballers adored by supporters are not always the footballers appreciated by the managers they play for. When Mason Mount was at his best — and we're going back half a decade now — he was essentially considered the opposite of Jack Grealish in the build-up to Euro 2020. Whereas Grealish was an entertainer, a wildcard, a playmaker capable of the unexpected, Mount was cast as the teacher's pet. At times, people questioned precisely what he offered. Advertisement If Grealish was an individualist, Mount was a system player. First and foremost, he carried out the manager's instructions. On top of that, he offered tactical intelligence, always understanding the system, how to find space, and how to bring the best from his team-mates. In Manchester United's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday, a game where United dominated and created the better chances, Mount, 26, offered a reminder of why managers value him. It was something of a surprise that Mount started the match. United's three big-name summer arrivals — Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo — have understandably been depicted as the first-choice attacking trio in the 3-4-2-1 system head coach Ruben Amorim insists upon. But Sesko had only had a week of pre-season as he waited to find out who he'd be playing for this season, so Mount got the nod. Cunha was United's most advanced player, with Mount in the inside-left role. That is the role, and this is the system, in which he has played his best football — particularly at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel, who was watching from the stands at Old Trafford in his current capacity as England manager. Upon Amorim taking charge of United last November, there were only three players in the squad who had played a higher-than-average percentage of their career minutes in a back-three system: Rasmus Hojlund, Manuel Ugarte and Mount. It remains to be seen whether the other two have the requisite ability. For Mount, it's more about staying fit: he still hasn't completed 90 minutes in the Premier League for United, two years after his arrival from Chelsea. But from the outset yesterday, this felt like the Mount of old. Take him collecting this long pass from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. He's positioned perfectly between right-back Ben White and centre-back William Saliba — look at Gabriel throwing his arms up in the air, asking who is challenging Mount. He's right to ask, and the answer is that it probably should have been Saliba. But Mount continually receives the ball on Sunday by putting himself in precisely this position. What you really want from a right-footed inside-left is for them to find space between the lines and play through balls for other attackers. Mount showed that ability five minutes in, with this pass in behind for Mbeumo, which brought to mind the ball he played for Kai Havertz to score the only goal in Chelsea's 2021 Champions League final win over Manchester City. Here, Mbeumo took the ball a little too wide before shooting straight at David Raya. Another pass from Mount to Mbeumo was this crossfield ball midway through the first half. When Amorim first replaced Erik ten Hag last season, these switches of play felt like the defining feature of his side. This one allowed Mbeumo to play in Diogo Dalot on the overlap, although the pass was delayed, and United's right wing-back had strayed offside. But the inside forwards combining with the wing-backs is what this 3-4-2-1 system is all about, and Mount always knows where 'his' wing-back is. This was a classic example: he has dragged White inside and knows the space on the far side is open, so he almost runs around the ball to sweep a first-time, left-footed pass out to Patrick Dorgu, who has half the pitch to himself. Yesterday was possibly Dorgu's best performance since joining United in January from Lecce of Italy, and it was no coincidence that it came playing behind Mount, who is a facilitator as much as anything else. Dorgu clearly enjoyed bouncing passes off him — on this occasion, making an underlapping run while Mount is holding the width. United increased their attacking threat down the left in the second half, when Luke Shaw, playing on the left of their back three, pushed forward to join in. In this example, Dorgu is out wide, Shaw makes the underlapping run, and Mount can remain infield to receive the cutback and have a decent shot, which is blocked. There were elements of rotation, too. Here, Dorgu is the player you expect to find in Mount's position in the pocket, Shaw has overlapped and is temporarily playing the Dorgu role, while Mount himself is the deepest of the three, playing the initial forward pass. And while some of this seems simple on paper, United's struggles down the right showed the importance of understanding between players. Mbeumo started brightly when dribbling in behind but in addition to the aforementioned delayed pass which caught Dalot offside, here he didn't understand what type of pass Amad wanted, and played a ball in behind just as Amad was holding his run. It is now six years since Mount's Premier League debut, which came when he was impressive in terms of positioning and link play on the opening weekend of a season at Old Trafford, even as his Chelsea side lost 4-0. Those who question what he offers will note that this weekend's display was another 'good performance' in which he didn't score or create a goal. Advertisement United have brought in three excellent individual attackers this summer, but they have signed great individuals before. What they have generally lacked is cohesion, and Mount is a system player who makes those around him better. That's why his managers tend to like him. Spot the pattern.

Cristian Romero agrees new four-year Tottenham contract
Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has signed a new four-year deal, in a major boost to the club and head coach Thomas Frank. Romero had two years remaining on his previous contract, which ran until June 2027, but has now committed to Spurs until 2029. The World Cup winner, who was targeted by Atletico Madrid at the start of the summer, was named as Spurs' new club captain by Frank last week following the departure of Son Heung-min to LAFC. Advertisement Amid interest from Atletico, Romero told an Argentinian broadcaster in April that he would 'love' to play in La Liga, 'the league I'm missing' – having spent three seasons in Italy's Serie A before coming to the Premier League. But The Athletic reported on July 11 that Atletico had ended their pursuit of Romero and turned their attentions to other targets, believing that Spurs were trying to tie the 27-year-old to a new deal. Romero joined Spurs from Juventus in summer 2021, in a deal worth €55million (£47.4m; $64.3m at current rates), and has been a mainstay at the heart of defence under former head coaches Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou. Injuries and rotation restricted him to just 18 Premier League appearances last season but he was influential in Spurs' Europa League win under Postecoglou – their first trophy since 2008. Frank succeeded the Australian as Spurs head coach in June. Speaking before Spurs began the new season with a 3-0 home win over Burnley, Frank described Romero as 'very, very committed' to the club. Last season, Romero appeared to criticise Tottenham's spending habits in an interview translated from Spanish following a defeat to Chelsea in December 2024. 'Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn't do well, strengthens again, and now they're seeing results. Those are the things to imitate,' he said. 'You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they [the board] realise it. 'The last few years, it's always the same – first the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it's always the same people responsible. 'Hopefully they realise who the true responsible ones are and we move forward because it's a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year.' By Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Elias Burke Thomas Frank announced Cristian Romero as his new club captain ahead of the European Super Cup following the departure of Son Heung-min, signalling that the 27-year-old was committed to Tottenham Hotspur amid speculation over his future, and a new long-term contract rubber-stamps his dedication. Advertisement Romero is one of the Premier League's most decorated and accomplished centre-backs, and ensuring he remained in north London was pivotal for Frank in establishing a defensive bedrock to build from. He demonstrated his defensive proficiency for most of last week's penalty shoot-out defeat to PSG, keeping one of Europe's best frontlines relatively quiet for much of the game, and showed his technical skill in Spurs' 3-0 win against Burnley, playing the crucial line-splitting pass leading to their third goal of the afternoon, scored by Brennan Johnson. As Frank endeavours to make Spurs competitive in all four competitions this season, the defensive partnership of Romero and Micky van de Ven appears central to their potential success. With that in mind, having both of their futures secured in north London is a significant boost to their aspirations this season and beyond. (Adam Davy/PA Images via Getty Images) Spot the pattern.

United must Goncalo Ramos this striker now that the Sesko deal is done
With the new Premier League season set to get underway this weekend, Manchester United will need to build as strong a squad as they can in order to compete at the highest level. In order to do this, they'll need to greatly improve in several problem areas on the pitch, particularly up front, given the team's lack of goalscoring ability last season. Although the arrival of Benjamin Sesko is certainly worth celebration, this may not be enough for the club to become competitive this season. Manager Ruben Amorim should seriously consider signing PSG frontman Goncalo Ramos as well. Why Sesko alone isn't the answer A highly capable finisher, it wouldn't be prudent to expect Benjamin Sesko to lead the line every match this season. Even though United do not have European football this season, one never knows what sort of injuries or unforeseen circumstances players could face, thereby rendering them unavailable at times. What's more, there are still some midweek fixtures to think about, with the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup set to commence at different points during the season. In matches where it might not be prudent to select Sesko, Amorim will suffer from a shortage of viable alternatives as things stand. Joshua Zirkzee has been injured and appears to be more comfortable as a number 10 than a striker. Rasmus Hojlund has been a constant underperformer, and appears set to depart for AC Milan on a season-long loan with an option to buy. Then there's Chido Obi, a promising young talent who entered the first team last season. Despite some impressive performances, Obi is still quite young, making it problematic for United to over rely on him given his inexperience and need to adjust to elite football. While the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo can play as strikers, they are highly effective at the number 10 role, given their impressive ball-carrying and dribbling abilities. Clearly, United are in need of another striker, and it seems that PSG's Goncalo Ramos could be the answer. Why Ramos Although United have been linked with several strikers this transfer window, Ramos is one who appears to be both highly capable and somewhat attainable. PSG reportedly told the Portuguese striker that he can leave the club this summer, with his party allegedly making contact with United among other clubs following such news. Earlier this month, The Peoples Person relayed that United reportedly entered into the transfer race for the PSG star, competing with the likes of Liveprool, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa. While it appears that Ramos has since backtracked, airing his desire to stay at PSG following their UEFA Super Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur, his lack of starts for the Parisian club could tempt a move to a club like United where more minutes could be a possibility. Furthermore, Ruben Amorim may be able to leverage his Portuguese connection with Ramos in negotiations, with the striker's Portugal teammates Bruno Fernandes and Diego Dalot potentially helping to sway his opinion as well. No matter how excited United fans get over Sesko, it's crucial to remember that he is but one player. If the club truly hopes for consistency up top, further reinforcements such as Ramos will be required. online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @
