In the UEFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers, England will host Lithuania at Wembley Stadium this Sunday, March 26, 2017 (9:00 AM Pacific). Only five points separate Lithuania in fourth with England in first in Group F of the competition, making this match an important one for both sides.
England is coming from a tough 1-0 loss to Germany in a midweek friendly match at the Signal Iduna Park. To add to this, Gareth Southgate will be missing Gary Cahill, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jordan Henderson for the match. The Three Lions have been doing well in the qualifiers, topping Group F with 10 points, beating Scotland, Malta and Slovakia and drawing to Slovenia.
The British side is also yet to concede a goal in the qualifiers, outscoring its opponents 6-0. Joe Hart will be the captain for his nation in this match and will be one of the key players to watch, along with some other intriguing players like Dele Alli and Marcus Rashford. The match should be one that Gareth Southgate’s side win comfortably, especially playing at Wembley stadium.
Lithuania is still in the running for a World Cup spot, currently in fourth place in Group F of the competition with five points. Currently, Lithuania is only three points back of Slovenia in second place and gaining any points from this encounter can prove to be vital. The Baltic side gained its five points by beating Malta 2-0 and getting surprising draws to Scotland and Slovenia. England should have the upper hand in this match, but it should still be a hard-fought encounter at Wembley Stadium.
