 England XI vs. Andorra: Predicted XI for World Cup 2026 qualifier as Harry Kane out to match Bobby Moore

Kane aiming for Moore: Predicted England XI vs. Andorra

England will endeavour to make it four wins from four in World Cup 2026 Qualifying Group K when Andorra pitch up to Villa Park for Saturday's showdown.

The Three Lions laboured to a 1-0 victory over the world's 174th-ranked nation in June, where Harry Kane unsurprisingly bailed his nation out of trouble once again.

The Bayern Munich forward is almost a constant fixture in England starting XIs, and even though Thomas Tuchel has a more daunting match against Serbia next week to prepare for, Kane will surely lead the Three Lions out in the West Midlands.

In doing so, the 32-year-old will draw level with Bobby Moore on 108 caps for the England national team, but it is anybody's guess as to who will support the skipper, as Tuchel will surely take this opportunity to tinker with his side.

There is every chance that current Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers and former Lion Marcus Rashford will both operate in the attack, with West Ham United's Jarrod Bowen playing off the right flank.

Elliot Anderson is one of two new call-ups seeking a senior England debut, but the perpetually fit Declan Rice may still start, while Tuchel could also lean on the experience of Brentford new boy Jordan Henderson in the double pivot.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's Djed Spence will surely be considered for a full debut at left-back, as Arsenal counterpart Myles Lewis-Skelly is currently being kept out of the Gunners XI by Riccardo Calafiori.

Tino Livramento appears a surefire pick on the opposite side of the defence, while Marc Guehi and the towering Dan Burn may be selected to shield Dean Henderson, as Jordan Pickford enjoys a rare rest.

England possible starting lineup:

D. Henderson; Livramento, Guehi, Burn, Spence; Rice, J. Henderson; Bowen, Rogers, Rashford; Kane
