Czechia have beaten England once, 2-1 in Prague in 2019. England return there on Tuesday with zero points.

Czechia host England at the Fortuna Arena in Prague on Tuesday, 29 September. Kickoff is 8.45pm local, 2.45pm ET, 11.45am PT. 123

Both lost their openers, so England are third in Group A3 and Czechia fourth on no points, with the return at Wembley next Tuesday. 24

England's first match since they finished third at the World Cup turned on their mistakes: Marc Guéhi was caught in possession for Spain's first, and Nico O'Reilly's misplaced pass led to their second. 4

Harry Kane, who had headed England in front, slipped taking a penalty and hit the crossbar. 5 Tuchel called resting players "madness": "I cannot manage the minutes of the players... I would never." 6 O'Reilly is out with a muscle injury and Ezri Konsa is a doubt after both missed training; England have gone six matches without a clean sheet. 3

Santi Denia, 52, is Czechia's first foreign coach, appointed in July on a two-year deal after Miroslav Koubek stepped down following a group-stage World Cup exit. 7

Denia's first game brought a 2-1 home defeat by Croatia. 4 Czechia have gone four matches without a win and eight without a clean sheet, but have scored first in five of their last seven. 3

Czechia have beaten England once, 2-1 in Prague in October 2019, after England had won the reverse fixture 5-0 at Wembley that campaign. 3

Tuchel wants six or seven of Saturday's starters to go again; Czechia made 42 clearances in their opener. 36

Verdict: England have the better side, and Prague will test whether they can keep the ball.
