England v Serbia live: Latest score and goal updates from World Cup 2026 qualifier tonight – UK Times

Serbia are yet to threaten England so far but the Three Lions still haven’t got complete control in this one. It’s been very stop-start.

Filip Kostic is the latest Serbia player to spend time on the floor after a challenge.

England have their first meaningful attack as Rogers exchanges passes with Saka before spreading it wide to Rashford. The Barcelona winger cuts in before returning it to Reece James, before Rogers eventually sees his cross cleared behind.

Serbia are clearly looking to pack midfield tonight, hoping to cut off the passing lanes for England.

Rashford tries to take matters into his own hands, beating one man on the wing before the covering defender clears.

An early sight of goal for Vlahovic as he races through onto the long ball in the box, but Konsa is there to cover at the expense of a corner.

The Villa defender is there again to head the first set-piece behind, before the hosts clear the following delivery.

England knocking it around confidently to start with.

There are a couple of early touches for debutant Nico O’Reilly, who has impressed for City of late.

Both sides are emerging from the tunnel at Wembley, so we’ll be underway just after the national anthems.

Less than 10 minutes until things get underway at Wembley.

Will it be encouragement for Thomas Tuchel’s side in preparation for the World Cup? Or will Serbia rise to the occasion and deliver in what is a must-win game for their own qualification?

We’ll have all the action, up next!

Who will Tuchel select in his 26-man squad for the tournament? Lawrence Ostlere breaks down who is on the plane and who still has work to do:

“At the moment, if we keep the structure, they cannot play,” Tuchel told TalkSport on Wednesday.

“They can, but not in the structure. Not for the balance that we developed, and not for structure that comes also with wingers who are like specialists in their positions. We play at the moment with a six, eight, a 10 and a nine.”
