England Take on Serbia in Crucial World Cup Qualifier
England face a key World Cup qualifying test on Tuesday as they travel to the Rajko Mitic Stadium to take on Serbia in Group K, Matchday 6. The Three Lions aim to secure another step towards qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
A major talking point is Harry Kane, England’s record goalscorer with 73 international goals, who has yet to score against Serbia. Fans will be eager to see if the striker can finally break his Balkan hoodoo.
Manager Thomas Tuchel remains under pressure to establish a team with a clear identity and attacking style. While England won 2-0 against Albania and 3-0 against Latvia earlier this year, their 1-0 victory over Andorra and a 3-1 friendly loss to Senegal highlighted ongoing concerns.
Players to Watch: Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson impressed on his international debut and could be a key figure in England’s midfield. Kane’s goal-scoring prowess and Anderson’s creativity may prove crucial in Belgrade.
Tuesday’s clash represents a critical opportunity for Tuchel’s side to demonstrate progress and move closer to World Cup qualification.
