England host Albania as they seek to wrap up their World Cup qualifiers on TV in style despite recent wobbles.

The Three Lions had won their opening five matches but have suffered draws against Poland and Hungary in recent international breaks.

There’s no need for alarm bells to be ringing just yet, though several key England players have been off the boil with their clubs recently.

Harry Kane and Harry Maguire will be among the players seeking respite in the England squad, though out-of-sorts Jadon Sancho hasn’t made the squad.

Gareth Southgate will expect no mistakes in this one. A victory would all-but guarantee qualification in top spot, though Poland are just three points behind with two games remaining.

A draw for England would probably be enough too, with a routine thumping of San Marino on the horizon in England’s final match.

Our prediction: England v Albania

This is an opportune moment for an international break for several England stars. This is their chance to forget club form and claw their way back among the goals and strong performances.

Southgate will be desperate for his main men to pull out all the stops to impress him in this one, with no international fixtures until next year.

England usually have no drama in qualification, and we’re expecting that trend to continue this time around as well, despite a couple of minor hiccups.

Our prediction: England 2-0 Albania (4/1 at bet365).
