England will play San Marino in the 10th matchday for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. San Marino are the second lowest ranked team, just above the Carribean island of Anguilla and the nation’s only win came in 2004 during a friendly against Liechtenstein where captain Andy Selva secured his team a 1-0 win.

They are unsurprisingly bottom of their World Cup qualifying group having not won or drawn a single match while their opponents sit at the top of their group almost assured of a trip to Qatar next year if they can win or draw against the mountainous microstate.

Their last match was played in Budapest against Hungary on Friday 12 November and ended in a 4-0 defeat and the last time San Marino faced the Three Lions, goals from James Ward-Prowse, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Raheem Sterling and Ollie Watkins saw England win 5-0.

England played Albania on Friday 12 November and comfortably won 5-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Harry Kane and goals from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson.

They require just one more point to secure their entry to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and it seems unimaginable that they would not be able to obtain this point in their upcoming fixture against San Marino.

Aaron Ramsdale is looking likely to replace Jordan Pickford in goal while Conor Coady and Tyrone Mings look to make up England’s centre-back pair.

Kane may hope to carry the momentum of his hat-trick on Friday into today’s match, but it seems more likely that he will be rested while Tammy Abraham comes in to fill the spot.

Possible line-up:

  • England: Ramsdale, Alexander-Arnold, Coady, Mings, Chilwell, Phillips, Bellingham, Smith, Smith-Rowe, Saka, Abraham Foden
  • San Marino: Benedettini, D’Addario, Fabbri, Brolli, rossi, Grandoni, Lunadei, Golinucci,Mularoni, Nanni, Vitaioli

Predicted score

Given England’s world cup qualifying success so far and their victory over San Marino in March earlier this year, tonight’s fixture looks set to be full of English goals with the likelihood of Ramsdale having a relatively quiet evening.
