England vs Kosovo preview: Hosts can seal unbeaten decade of qualifying

England vs Kosovo
European Qualifiers Group A
7:45pm Tuesday 10th September

St. Mary’s Stadium

England seal of qualifying an decade and can put 1 foot at the 2020 finals on Tuesday.
The Three Lions are unbeaten in qualifying in their World Cup 2010 qualifier under then-manager Fabio Capello to Ukraine.
Reaching championship finals has become somewhat of a specified for English sides because then – but defeat at 2009 came just two decades afterwards one of England’s darkest moments in recent history, once they missed out on Euro 2008 entirely after a shock home defeat to Croatia in their final qualifying match at Wembley.
Anything but defeat will guarantee England expand what is the longest unbeaten streak of qualifiers among well ahead of their closest rivals, and European sides into its next decade Spain, who are 24 games unbeaten.
Kosovo’s recent results demonstrate that may not be a easy undertaking, however, after they came from behind to beat on Czech Republic Saturday and have not lost any of their four qualifiers.
The state declared independence from 2008 from Serbia but did not perform its first official international game and picked up a single stage in qualifying for World Cup 2018.
But four wins in their Nations League group and the goalscoring type of Fenerbache striker Vedat Muqiri and Werder Bremen midfielder Milot Rashica – that the latter hurt for Tuesday’s game – have rocketed the country drawn in precisely the identical pot as Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands up to second place in Group A.
Sky Sports News knows that Jadon Sancho will begin together with Marcus Rashford falling to the bench for England.
Southgate is also expected to alter the two full-backs – with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Ben Chilwell place to come in to Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier of Leicester.
Southgate stated on Monday:”We may freshen the team a bit, that will be significant.
“We don’t need to, everyone is available and fit. We will need to make sure we get the balance right.
“We will need to get the right defending and attacking profiles to make sure that we win the game.”
Harry Kane added his 23rd, 24th and 25th England aims to his tally on Saturday to become only the 13th player in England background to score a number of hat-tricks for the Three Lions, and the first since Michael Owen took home his second match ball after a friendly against Colombia back in 2005.
Him moved outside England Sir Geoff Hurst in the all time goalscorer ranks, and although he still trails its leader Wayne Rooney with some 28 strikes, Southgate has supported his captain – gym – to break a record punctually.
“I think that it will just be all about fitness and preventing extended injuries – things which are out of your hands – but I would think everything is there to truly challenge it,” Southgate said.
“The reality of this is that there is a reason that just Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker and Wayne Rooney have obtained there, as it’s such a difficult challenge to remain fit, the number-one choice, concentrated, and motivated to the long time that you need to have the ability to find the games and to find those aims.
“However, if anyone has that power of mentality, for sure it is Harry.”
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, Kosovo manager Bernard Challandes has issued an extraordinary warning to England over the”crazy” pressing they’ll face out of his side.
The 68-year-old Swiss coach stunned watching reporters at his press conference on Sunday since he shouted to this St Mary’s experience during an overview of the tactical approach of Kosovo.
“It is tactical pressing,” Challandes mentioned. “At a crazy game, it is go, return, gogo, go, go, go!
“Perhaps they shed the ball and we score, because gegenpressing is not only defence, it’s preparation for a goal for us. It is, for me, crazy pressing.”
