England head coach Thomas Tuchel has made four changes to his starting lineup for Monday's World Cup 2026 Qualifying clash with Latvia at Wembley.

The Three Lions are bidding for back-to-back wins under the German following Friday's 2-0 victory over Albania in Group K, and Tuchel has changed over a third of his team from that opening win.

Among the players brought into the XI is Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, who makes his full senior debut for England and will seemingly operate in the number 10 position behind striker and captain Harry Kane.

Even though Rogers is acting as the creative focal point, Jude Bellingham retains his place in the starting lineup and is seemingly set to partner Declan Rice in midfield, as Curtis Jones drops out of the side.

Alongside Rogers in the England attack is Villa teammate Marcus Rashford, who keeps his place despite coming in for criticism from his manager on Friday, but Phil Foden is not so fortunate.

Marc Guehi, Reece James start in defence for England

The Manchester City man was also told by Tuchel that he was not as impactful as he could have been against Albania, and the England boss has promoted Jarrod Bowen to the right-hand side of the attack.

Further back, Tuchel has made two alterations to his defensive line, as Reece James replaces Kyle Walker at right-back and Marc Guehi comes in for Dan Burn in the heart of defence.

Ezri Konsa reprises his role over Levi Colwill, though, while Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly continues at left-back after his history-making goal on his debut last Friday.

Tuchel has also stuck with recognised number one Jordan Pickford in goal, resisting the urge to give Dean Henderson or James Trafford a go in between the posts, while Aaron Ramsdale misses out again.

As reported earlier on Monday, there is also no place in the matchday 23 for Newcastle United's Tino Livramento, but Morgan Gibbs-White and Jarell Quansah are both back and on the England bench.

England lineup: Pickford; James, Konsa, Guehi, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Bellingham; Bowen, Rogers, Rashford; Kane
Subs: Trafford, D. Henderson, Walker, Foden, J. Henderson, Burn, Colwill, Eze, Jones, Gibbs-White, Solanke, Quansah

Latvia lineup: Zviedris; Savalnieks, Jurkovskis, Cernomordijs, Balodis, Ciganiks; Jaunzems, Savaljevs, Zelenkovs, Ikaunieks; Gutkovskis
Subs: Ozols, Matrevics, Jagodinskis, Sliede, Isajevs, Daskevics, Vapne, Sits, Krollis, Melniks, Tonisevs body check tags ::
