Latest information on the Latvia vs England squad
Captain Harry Kane did not play against Wales due to not being fully recovered from an ankle injury, but manager Tuchel insisted he was "certain" the striker would be ready for the match in Riga.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah has withdrawn from the squad due to an unspecified injury. Otherwise, Tuchel still has a full complement of elite players to choose from.
The German strategist is expected to make few changes to the lineup as qualification is just one win away. Kane is likely to return to the starting XI, while Marcus Rashford could replace Anthony Gordon in attack.
On the Latvian side, coach Paolo Nicolato maintained the same squad as in the draw against Andorra, but they continued to be without two key players: striker Roberts Uldrikis and midfielder Kristers Tobers (Aberdeen) due to injury.
In the previous match, Nicolato made three substitutions after the first half, including taking off Dario Sits – the striker from Atletico Madrid B. It is likely that the young player will lose his starting spot to Janis Ikaunieks, the team's most experienced striker, along with Vladislavs Gutkovskis, each of whom has scored 12 goals for the Latvian national team.

Latest football match prediction: Latvia vs England
Since succeeding Sir Gareth Southgate as England's head coach, Thomas Tuchel has been steadily making his mark with an impressive run of victories in the qualifying rounds. Recently, he added another milestone to his journey with the "Three Lions" by securing his first friendly win.
There's no need to dwell too much on the lackluster debut against Senegal, because just a few days later, England annihilated Wales in the first 20 minutes. Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka scored in quick succession, securing an easy 3-0 victory.
The score could have been even more lopsided if Tuchel's players had taken their chances better, but the slowdown in the second half was perfectly understandable, as they needed to conserve energy for the crucial match against Latvia – where their World Cup qualification will almost certainly be decided.
Thanks to Serbia's defeat to Albania on Saturday, England only need a win in Riga to officially secure their North American qualification. The Three Lions are currently four points ahead of Albania, despite having played one fewer game, and eight points ahead of Serbia after the same number of matches.
Not only did England win every match in the qualifying round, but they were also the only team in all five groups to keep a clean sheet – a perfect defensive record. Therefore, Latvia's hopes are almost nonexistent as they prepare to host the "Three Lions" for the first time in history.
Never having participated in the World Cup as an independent nation and having only appeared once in the European Championship (group stage in 2004), Latvia's journey to qualify for the world's biggest football tournament seems likely to be a long one.
After six matches in Group K, Latvia has only won one. Last weekend, they continued to disappoint by drawing 2-2 at home against Andorra – a team that had lost all five of their previous matches. This result leaves Latvia in fourth place, six points behind a play-off spot and with only two matches remaining to salvage their position.
To secure second place in the group, they must win both of their remaining matches and hope Albania loses both and equalizes their goal difference – a nearly impossible scenario. In the last 12 months, Latvia has only won one of their 12 matches, a statistic that speaks volumes.
Worse still, the Baltic team lost.14 consecutive matches against teams in the world's top 10., with a total loss score of up to1-41In the first leg at Wembley seven months ago, they also easily succumbed to England, losing 0-3.
