Thomas Tuchel suggested that he will start Elliot Anderson against Serbia after the Nottingham Forest midfielder enjoyed a promising debut as England’s No 6 in their 2-0 win over Andorra.

Anderson was one of the biggest positives for Tuchel on an evening when his side took another step towards earning qualification for next summer’s World Cup. The 22-year-old’s positive passing and physicality caught the eye at Villa Park, suggesting that he can fill a problem position in midfield for England, and he is in line to play again when England face Serbia in Belgrade on Tuesday night.
