LIVE stream from Wembley Stadium as Thomas Tuchel names his first England squad for the games vs. Lithuania and Latvia.

______

Four months and three weeks after he was appointed, Thomas Tuchel is about to give us our first taste of what his England team looks like.

The German has a 55-man list that needs to be whittled down to 26 for two World Cup qualifiers, and his selections will no doubt be feted ... as well as debated.

Gareth Southgate's long reign meant his squads became generally predictable, with the 54-year-old placing his trust in a core group of players who helped the team reach two major finals before ultimately falling short. Lee Carsley's short run as interim coach brought evolution rather than revolution, with the under-21s boss handing debuts to eight newcomers with a view for the future.

But Tuchel signed an 18-month contract that will come to an end after the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and while the FA are open to a longer relationship, the deal is a clear indicator that both parties have an eye on the short term.

With Tuchel's focus placed squarely on a tournament taking place next summer, he may put faith in experienced but out-of-form players who have proved they can make an immediate impact. But that would overlook several uncapped stars who have risen to the fore since the last international break in mid-November and could help England end 60 years of hurt.
