Thomas Tuchel begins his reign as England manager by handing out two new caps. Man-of-the-moment Dan Burn, a scorer at Wembley five days ago as Newcastle slaked their 70-year domestic thirst, and Arsenal prodigy Myles Lewis-Skelly are the debutants. Marcus Rashford makes his first start for England since facing Malta in November 2023.
Albania are captained by Atalanta defender Berat Djimsiti. Kristjan Asllani of Internazionale and Rangers winger Nedim Bajrami also start. Armando Broja, currently on loan at Everton, is on the bench. Their manager Sylvinho, formerly of Arsenal and Manchester City, played at the old Wembley for Brazil in a 1-1 draw in 2000, and was assistant boss of the Seleção at the new Wembley in 2017, when England and Brazil played out a goalless draw.
