England carry momentum from Croatia rout
England impressed in Rijeka as Kane scored twice and Jude Bellingham contributed a goal and three assists against Croatia.
Alex Scott impressed on his first senior start but withdrew with a thigh injury. Defender Ezri Konsa is also unavailable.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Morgan Rogers, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White are competing for places as Tuchel considers rotation.
Kane could equal Peter Shilton’s England men’s record with his 125th appearance, while Bellingham is approaching his 60th cap.
Possible England line-up
Pickford could return behind Alexander-Arnold, Guéhi, Branthwaite and Hall. Anderson and Bellingham may anchor midfield, with Saka, Rogers and Gordon supporting Kane.
Tuchel could instead rest several regulars, so this remains a projected team rather than confirmed information. UEFA lists the full squads, with official selections due shortly before kick-off at Wembley.
Czech Republic search for their first point
The Czech Republic lost to Croatia and Spain before their 2-0 defeat by England.
Pavel Šulc’s red card complicated the reverse fixture. Gordon converted Alexander-Arnold’s cross before Kane added England’s second goal.
Santi Denia’s team then lost 3-1 to Spain, leaving them bottom of Group A3.
Ladislav Krejčí, Adam Hložek and Alex Král provide experience, while goalkeeper Matěj Kovář faces a demanding evening.
Group A3 standings before kick-off

| 2 | England | 3 | +8 | 6 |
| 3 | Croatia | 3 | -9 | 3 |
| 4 | Czech Republic | 3 | -5 | 0 |
England can move level with Spain on nine points by winning and strengthen their qualification position.
The Czech Republic needs a result to retain realistic hope of escaping bottom place.

Players to watch
Kane leads England with four group-stage goals. His movement, finishing and creativity make him difficult to contain.
Gordon has three goals and attacks defenders directly. Bellingham’s forward movement could also test the visitors’ defence.
Krejčí is central to the visitors’ defence, while Hložek must provide an attacking outlet.
England vs Czech Republic prediction
England possess greater depth, stronger form and home advantage. Rotation should not remove their attacking quality.
Compact defending could keep the Czech Republic competitive early, but England’s bench should provide decisive options.
Prediction: England 3-0 Czech Republic.
Possible outcomes include England leading at half-time, over 2.5 goals, and both teams not scoring. These predictions are not guarantees.
