The Three Lions are still perfect in Group K. winning seven games out of seven, and they have still not conceded a goal.
Thomas Tuchel recalled Jude Bellingham into the squad after omitting him in October, although the Real Madrid midfielder was forced to settle for a place on the bench on his return.
Now, England travel to Tirana to finish off their qualifiers, and with qualification chalked off already, now could be a good time for the head coach to experiement with the World Cup closing in.

Albania vs England team news
The Crystal Palace defender had joined up with the squad despite his knock, but he did not feature against Serbia amid medical assessments.
He was sent home on Friday and will play no part in Tirana.
Elsewhere, it is as you were for the Three Lions, although we should expect some rotation from Tuchel, which could mean a first start for Bellingham and perhaps another sighting of Foden in his new role.
Albania vs England prediction
There should be full confidence in the England camp of a comfortbale win here, even with the expected changes that Tuchel will make.
The Three Lions have the star power to rack up a big score, and perhaps better the 2-0 scoreline they tallied at Wembley in the reverse fixture.
Even if Kane is rested, expect goals from the visiting side.
