Saka added another fantastic goal to his England catalogue against Wales last time out. He hasn’t really had a chance to impress Tuchel, with his most recent appearance being his first start under the new manager, but when fit, Saka is one of the first names on the team sheet.

He had four shots in total in that game and is a regular contributor for England, having scored 13 goals across his 45 caps, which may not sound like an impressive record, but it is respectable on the international stage. Saka has taken nine shots in the Premier League so far this season (2.33 per 90), with three of these attempts finding the target (0.78 per 90).

He didn’t feature in England’s 3-0 win over Latvia at Wembley a few months back, but England managed to notch eight shots on target in the game. They also managed 12 shots on target in their most recent qualifying game against Serbia, so things are starting to click in the final third under Tuchel.

Anderson has adapted seamlessly to the international stage and is now near nailed on to be at the World Cup next summer. He offers a profile that England have been missing for the last few tournaments, though there now seems to be a plethora of options to fill this role, with Wharton unlucky to miss out on the squad as an example.

Anderson contested 10 duels in England’s 3-0 win over Wales last time out. He didn’t commit a foul in the game, but it's important to keep in mind that it was a friendly and England had the game wrapped up inside 20 minutes.

He won more duels than any other player in England’s win over Serbia in their most recent qualifying match (7), committing two fouls in the process. He also committed two fouls in England’s slender win over Andorra and is averaging 1.14 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this term. 

England netted three goals against Latvia when the sides met at Wembley a few months ago. It was one of Tuchel’s early games in charge, and his side look much stronger now, which will be a worry for Latvia.

England hit three goals against Wales last time out inside 20 minutes, and also put five past Serbia in their most complete performance under Tuchel so far. Overall, England have seen this selection land in four of their seven matches under Tuchel. 

The Three Lions have found an effective formula in the final third in recent matches, intriguingly without some of their starting forwards, which can help them cover the line here. England registered an xG of 3.57 in their win over Latvia at Wembley from 27 shots, there is no reason why they won't cover this line on their own, in truth.

Ciganiks’ individual matchup against Bukayo Saka is one to watch in this qualifying tie. Latvia are expected to deploy a five man backline, a tactic they used at Wembley, which would directly pit Ciganiks against Saka.

In the previous encounter against England, which ended in a 3-0 win for the Three Lions, Ciganiks made one foul. On that day, his assignment was Jarrod Bowen, a player known for drawing contact. However, Saka is in a different class when it comes to earning fouls.

Saka has won nine fouls in his five Premier League appearances this season, averaging 2.33 per 90 minutes. This is a rate he has consistently maintained since his breakthrough at Arsenal. He drew one foul in his 70 minutes on the pitch against Wales and poses a persistent threat that will regularly test Ciganiks, who has already collected two yellow cards in this qualifying campaign.

I always enjoy seeing Gordon play for England, the left hand side is one of the more political positions in the squad, with many players trying to nail down that spot as their own. Rashford is Gordon’s natural competitor on that side, and you would also expect Jack Grealish to be involved in one of the future camps.

Gordon is very direct which aids our selection here. He didn’t feature in England’s 3-0 win over Latvia at Wembley, but Tuchel’s side had eight shots on target in that game, so we can expect them to produce a decent shot on target count here again. Gordon did feature for England against Wales last time out and had three shots, one of which found the target.

Gordon has taken five shots across just 116 minutes of football during the international qualifiers (3.88 per 90), with three of these efforts finding the target (2.33 per 90). He’s also been bright for his club side this season, with an average of 3.97 shots per 90 across his four Premier League appearances.

Elliot Anderson’s introduction to the England squad frees up Declan Rice to have more of an active role in the final third. This was clearly on display in England’s win over Andorra at Villa Park, when Rice scored via a late run into the box.

He wouldn’t be given the licence to make this kind of run without Elliot Anderson offering appropriate cover behind him. Rice is also valuable when it comes to this market as he is on corners and wide free kicks for England. The Three Lions always end up with a strong number of corners in games like this as they are so dominant.

Rice can act as more of a threat for his nation in the final third now that England have settled their defensive midfield issue. He has already registered three goal contributions across his seven Premier League appearances so far this term.

As mentioned in the first bet builder, I think Ciganiks v Saka will be a key battle here. Ciganiks committed a foul against England in the reverse fixture and across his last three qualifying matches, he's committed six fouls (two per game). These matches have been against Serbia, Albania and Andorra, so we can expect his foul numbers to increase against higher calibre opposition here - making a card look good value at 4.00, particularly with Sub On Play On applied.

Saka has won nine fouls in his five Premier League appearances this season, averaging 2.33 per 90 minutes. He was fouled once against Wales last time out and three times against West Ham in his most recent match for Arsenal.
