Three top-20 sides faced by Thomas Tuchel's England - and still no wins. The Three Lions breezed through qualification for the World Cup winning all of their eight games without conceding a goal. After their loss at Wembley, which saw Japan become the first Asian side to beat England, the Three Lions end the March international break without a win. Serbia, England's toughest oppnent in qualification, are ranked 39th in the world, and were comfortably beaten 5-0 away by England and 2-0 at Wembley in November. The biggest worry for England and for Tuchel is what they will do without captain and record goalscorer Harry Kane if he is not available.
