World Cup qualifiers 2026: Serbia-England, the likely lineups

Serbia and England take the field at 8:45 p.m. for the match valid for the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

Serbia is currently second in Group K on 7 points, and is fresh off an away win in Latvia.

Serbia fields Mitrovic and Vlahovic as an attacking pair, Samardzic in the three-quarter, Zivkovic and Terzic on the outsides.

Kane is England&#8217s offensive point man, with Madueke, Eze and Gordon behind him. In the midfield Jordan Henderson with Rice.
