England couldn't have asked for a softer start for their bid to reach next year's tournament in Qatar as they faced the worst-ranked team in FIFA's world rankings. They eventually ended with a conservative five goals in the 90 minutes over San Marino, with several key personnel rested for what should be a trickier task against Albania today.
With Robert Lewandowski's Poland coming up on Wednesday, there are far bigger challenges ahead for England, so Southgate will be hoping for a professional, efficient victory here. Dual Harrys Kane and Maguire are likely to return to the starting eleven, which means debutant goal scorer Ollie Watkins may have to sit this one out.
Albania also started with a win in the week, but 1-0 against Andorra isn't exactly enough to make the Lions quake in their boots. If there's anything like a danger man to look out for, it's probably Rey Manaj - a young striker who plies is craft Barcelona B.
