"Starting with the hosts, while Thomas Tuchel might have only officially taken charge earlier in the year, the former Chelsea boss already has some serious pressure on his shoulders. Last seen putting in a nightmare performance at the City Ground as they slumped to a shock 3-1 loss at the hands of Senegal, England are seeking an immediate response when they get their World Cup qualifying campaign underway on Saturday evening."
"England Team News Picking up a reported groin injury away at Aston Villa last weekend, Crystal Palace ace Adam Wharton has been forced to withdraw from Tuchel's squad. AC Milan star Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been recalled by his former Chelsea boss. Likewise, completing a permanent switch to German giants Bayer Leverkusen this summer, ex-Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah has also received a late call-up. Already recording five direct goal contributions in his opening two Bundesliga appearances, Harry Kane will lead the line here."
"As for the visitors, last seen in competitive action putting in another nightmare display as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming away at Serbia on June 10th, Andorra have only further underlined their status as one of Europe's ultimate whipping boys. Only putting a single Nations League point on the board last year, Koldo Alvarez's side couldn't have asked for a tougher challenge this weekend."
England enter the World Cup qualifiers under Thomas Tuchel with pressure after a 3-1 defeat by Senegal. England are heavy favorites to top Group K and have won all seven previous meetings with Andorra by a 26-0 aggregate. Adam Wharton withdrew with a reported groin injury, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek was recalled and Jarell Quansah received a late call-up. Harry Kane has five direct goal contributions in his first two Bundesliga appearances and will lead the attack. Andorra lost 3-0 to Serbia, earned only one Nations League point last year, and face a very difficult challenge. Olympusbet lists Kane at 12/5 to score first.
