The England vs Andorra clash is poised to be an interesting clash between the best and worst teams in Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification round as the Three Lions aim to strengthen their hold on top of their group. It’ll be a game pitting attack vs defence together as these two sides go to war on Saturday, September 6.
This is expected to be a game where the England national team dominates the majority of possession and the visitors try to come up with something special to stun them.
England have already won all three of their qualification matches in their group and are determined to keep their winning run in the qualifying campaign in tact under Thomas Tuchel.
Andorra are the lowest-ranked team in Group K of the World Cup qualifiers, and are ranked 170 places above England in the latest FIFA World Rankings.
They have not won any game in 2025 so far, but after putting in a valuable fight against England in their most recent World Cup qualifier in June 2025, they’ll look to take the fight to them in the upcoming match at Villa Park.
Now, we shall look at some key factors to consider in this England vs Andorra clash in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Can Harry Kane Keep His Goal Streak Going For England?
Harry Kane has been one of England’s best players under Thomas Tuchel since the German gaffer took over the role at the beginning of 2025.
In fact, the Bayern Munich forward has scored in all four matches under Tuchel so far and is actually on a five-match scoring run for the Three Lions in international matches.
Kane has scored three goals in as many World Cup qualification matches so far and is determined to keep that impressive run going for England. Kane has already had a brilliant start to the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign with Bayern, having scored three goals and provided two assists in two games for the Bavarians so far.
He has all the momentum behind him and will be determined to trouble the Andorra defenders with his movement, latch onto chances inside the box and slot them away clinically to keep building his record as England’s all-time top scorer.

Debuts On The Horizon For England?
Thomas Tuchel has selected an interesting squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, which includes snubs for senior players like Harry Maguire, Trent Alexander-Arnold, while the likes of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka and Levi Colwill are all injured. That has caused the gaffer to give debut call-ups for some in-form players in the England squad.
Indeed, the likes of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliott Anderson, Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence and Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jarrel Quansah have all received debut call-ups.
There is a very strong chance for Anderson to receive his debut for England in the upcoming clash against Andorra, and he might even make the starting lineup.
Moreover, Spence and Quansah could make their first appearances for England as substitutes in the match too, as could the returning Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Tuchel has shown a love for young blood since taking over as England boss, and the likes of Morgan Rogers, Tino Livramento should also get the nod against Andorra.
Predicted Lineups for England vs Andorra
Because of the sheer importance of a win for both sides, Thomas Tuchel and Andorra head coach Koldo Alvarez are both going to be looking to field their strongest lineups to start the game.
Here we look at the England vs Andorra predicted lineups:
England predicted XI: Jordan Pickford (GK), Reece James, Marc Guehi, Dan Burn, Tino Livramento, Declan Rice, Elliott Anderson, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Morgan Rogers, Harry Kane
