England team news

England have several players unavailable. Alex Scott suffered a serious quadriceps injury on his full England debut and could be out for up to two months, while Ezri Konsa returned to Arsenal as a calf precaution.

  • Alex Scott Out with a quadriceps injury
  • Ezri Konsa Withdrew as a calf precaution
  • Nico O’Reilly Returned to Manchester City for assessment
  • Rico Lewis Called up from the Under-21 squad
  • Harry Kane Expected to lead the attack

Thomas Tuchel may rotate his team after a busy international window and England’s 7–0 win over Croatia. Players such as Jude Bellingham Anthony Gordon and Elliot Anderson could be managed carefully, but Kane is still expected to feature.

England predicted lineup vs Czechia

England are expected to use a 4, 2, 3, 1 formation. The exact team has not been officially confirmed, so this is a predicted line-up based on recent previews and squad news.

  • Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford
  • Right back Trent Alexander Arnold
  • Centre back Trevoh Chalobah
  • Centre back Marc Guéhi
  • Left back Lewis Hall
  • Defensive midfield Elliot Anderson
  • Defensive midfield Myles Lewis Skelly
  • Right wing Bukayo Saka
  • Attacking midfield Jude Bellingham
  • Left wing Anthony Gordon
  • Striker Harry Kane

Bellingham and Gordon were both involved in England’s big win over Croatia, while Saka and Kane remain major attacking threats. Tuchel could change some names closer to kick-off.

Czechia team news

Czechia have a big problem in defence because captain Ladislav Krejčí is suspended. He was sent off in Czechia’s 3–1 defeat to Spain, so he cannot play at Wembley.

  • Ladislav Krejčí Suspended after a red card against Spain
  • Pavel Šulc Available again after suspension
  • Lukáš Provod Injured and unavailable
  • Tomáš Chorý Injured and unavailable
  • Adam Hložek Czechia’s main attacking threat

Pavel Šulc’s return is helpful for Czechia because he can add creativity in midfield. However, losing Krejčí and two attacking options makes their task against England much harder.

Czechia predicted lineup vs England

Czechia are likely to play with a compact defensive shape and try to counter-attack through Adam Hložek. Their predicted team uses a 4, 2, 3, 1 formation.

  • Goalkeeper Antonín Kinský
  • Right back Michal Sáček
  • Centre back Martin Vitík
  • Centre back Robin Hranáč
  • Left back Jiří Sláma
  • Central midfield Alex Král
  • Central midfield Michal Sadílek
  • Right wing Matěj Radosta
  • Attacking midfield Pavel Šulc
  • Left wing Ondřej Lingr
  • Striker Adam Hložek

Vitík is expected to replace the suspended Krejčí at the back. Czechia will need a disciplined defensive performance to stop England’s fast wingers and Kane.

England vs Czechia head to head

England have the stronger head-to-head record. Across the previous six meetings, England have won four, drawn one, and lost one, while Czechia’s only win came in Prague in October 2019.

  • England wins Four
  • Draws One
  • Czechia wins One
  • Most recent meeting Czechia 0,2 England
  • Last Wembley meeting England 5,0 Czechia
  • EURO 2020 result England 1,0 Czechia

England beat Czechia 2–0 in Prague on 29 September, with Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scoring. That result gives England confidence going into the return game at Wembley.

England form and group position

England have been excellent in attack during this Nations League campaign. After losing 3–2 to Spain in their opening match, they beat Czechia 2,0 and then crushed Croatia 7–0 away from home.

  • England group points Six from three matches
  • Goals scored 11 in three group games
  • Latest result Croatia 0 7 England
  • Group leaders Spain with nine points
  • Kane goals Four in the Nations League

Harry Kane has four goals in the competition, while Anthony Gordon has also been in strong form. If Kane plays, he will win his 125th England cap and equal Peter Shilton’s men’s appearance record.

Czechia form and group position

Czechia have had a difficult start under Santi Denia. They have lost to Croatia England and Spain, scoring only two goals and conceding seven in their three group matches.

  • Czechia group points Zero from three matches
  • Goals scored Two
  • Goals conceded Seven
  • Latest result Spain 3,1 Czechia
  • Main problem Defensive mistakes and suspensions

Czechia’s best hope is to stay organised, defend deeply, and use Hložek’s pace on the break. But their poor form and missing players make an away win at Wembley look very difficult.

England vs Czechia odds

England are clear favourites with bookmakers. One preview listed England at around 1.10 to 1.11, the draw at about 8.40 to 8.50, and Czechia at 19.00 to 22.00, although odds can change quickly.

  • England win Strong favourites
  • Draw Less likely according to the market
  • Czechia win Big underdogs
  • Odds note Prices can change before kick off

These numbers show that most people expect England to win. However, football can surprise people, especially when a team makes several changes after a long international break.

England vs Czechia prediction

England should win this match. They have home advantage, a stronger squad, better recent form, and they already beat Czechia 2–0 last week. Czechia’s defensive absence and poor group form make their task even tougher.

  • Likely result England win
  • Main reason England attacking strength and home advantage
  • Czechia hope A disciplined defensive display
  • Player to watch Harry Kane
  • Our prediction England 3,0 Czechia

England may rotate players, but they still have enough quality to control the game. A comfortable home win is the most sensible prediction, with Kane and Saka among the biggest threats.

Players to watch

This match has several players who can change the result. England’s attacking players will look to create chances early, while Czechia will rely on Hložek to lead their counter-attacks.

  • Harry Kane England captain and leading scorer
  • Bukayo Saka Dangerous winger who can create and score
  • Jude Bellingham Connects midfield with attack
  • Anthony Gordon Scored against Czechia in Prague
  • Adam Hložek Czechia’s main attacking player

Kane is the player most likely to make the difference. He has four goals in this Nations League campaign and will be eager to add more at Wembley.
