Andorra team news

You will likely not have heard of any of the Andorra squad...but just in case you were wondering, manager Koldo Alvarez does not have any major injury issues to contend with.

A bigger problem is suspensions. As his side spend so long without the ball it is little surprise that they accumulate so many yellow cards.

For this one, Andorra will have to fare without Albert Alavedra, Marcio Vieira and Moises San Nicolas - although they do have four players set to return after being suspended for their September games.

England will be without defender Harry Maguire, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James through injury, while Kalvin Phillips was recently replaced by James Ward-Prowse after picking up a strain.

There has been some concern over Andorra's artificial pitch among Premier League clubs, so injury-prone Harry Kane could be rested.

In general, Southgate is likely to field a weakened side this weekend as he looks ahead to England's tougher meeting with Hungary on Tuesday.

Andorra vs England head-to-head record

Can we just shock you? England have won every time they have faced off against Andorra.

In the reverse fixture of the current qualification campaign, England eased to a 4-0 win after being frustrated by Andorra early on.


Andorra vs England score prediction

England are going to win this game and they're going to win it easily. The biggest concern Southgate will have ahead of this one is getting through the match on a tricky pitch without any injuries.

A rotated Three Lions really should not have any problems opening the floodgates in Andorra, and the fringe players will be eager to impress their manager.

Prediction: Andorra 0-5 England
