Gareth Southgate's England side continue their march towards the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this weekend with a qualifying match against Andorra at a sold-out Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions, currently sitting comfortably at the top of Group I, are overwhelming favourites to secure another three points against the minnows. This match offers the perfect opportunity for Southgate to rotate his squad and give valuable minutes to fringe players and those returning from injury.

The match is scheduled for a 5:00 PM BST (British Summer Time) kick-off on Saturday, October 9th.

Team News and Predicted Line-Up
With a more challenging fixture away to Hungary on the horizon, Southgate is anticipated to make several changes to the starting XI that defeated Hungary last month. Key players like Harry Kane and Declan Rice could be rested.
This opens the door for squad players such as Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, and Lingard to stake their claim for a more regular starting spot. There is also strong speculation that Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who has been managing his minutes after returning from injury, could start to build up his match fitness.
Andorra, managed by Koldo Álvarez, are expected to employ a deeply defensive 5-4-1 formation, focusing on frustrating the English attack and keeping the scoreline respectable.
The Road to Qatar 2022
England are in a commanding position in their qualifying group. A victory against Andorra would put them on the brink of securing their place in next year's tournament, another positive step under Southgate's leadership following the run to the Euro 2020 final.
All eyes will be on Wembley as the Three Lions look to deliver a professional and commanding performance for their home supporters.
