England vs Uruguay: Preview

Tuchel was appointed for success today, not tomorrow. There was no secret made of that and it's to his credit that the lack of wiggle room in his relatively short tenure rarely manifests in anything like panic.

England tend to qualify with ease for major tournaments these days, UEFA qualifying for expanded competitions being what it is, but it's been eyes on the prize all the way regardless.

This month, with one job done and the next yet to fully take over, Tuchel finally has a bit of slack. The result was a 35-man squad and a couple of Wembley fixtures that will certainly be useful but don't feel needlessly pressurised.

Friendlies at this level are never entirely free of expectations. England supporters might be relaxed going into this game against Bielsa's Uruguay but they'll need to remind themselves of the low stakes if the result goes against them.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility. Uruguay qualified fourth in the CONMEBOL qualifiers but in truth the qualifying spots were much of a muchness outside of group winners and world champions Argentina.

Their last match was a friendly walloping at the hands of Mauricio Pochettino and the United States, who were 4-1 up at half time in Florida in November.

The history between these teams is finely balanced but they haven't met since the group stage of World Cup 2014, when Luis Suarez scored twice in a 2-1 win for Uruguay to dump England out of a disappointing tournament.

FourFourTwo's prediction

England 1-0 Uruguay

Neither side will want this to be too open a match but England, at home and with players wanting to prove their worth, should have enough to nick it.
