Gareth Southgate's side clinched their place at the global tournament with a decisive win over Latvia on Tuesday night.

The Starting Lineup

• Jordan Pickford – Pulled off a couple of fine stops in the second half to maintain his remarkable clean sheet run. That's nine in a row. 6.5
• Djed Spence – Has taken to international football seamlessly. More challenging tests await, of course, but a positive start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two matches in a short span will do the City defender a great benefit. Still one of the key players on the starting lineup, fitness permitting. 7
• Aston Villa's defender – Selected ahead of Marc Guehi and didn't put a foot wrong. Executed an superb last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Appeared a slightly ring rusty at times, understandable given his limited game time at his club. An promising few months ahead. 6
• The midfielder – Looks undroppable in this England team at the moment. Looks made for this level and has developed an strong partnership with Rice. 7
• Arsenal's engine – Enjoying his attacking role. The mainstay of England's midfield is displaying his offensive abilities now. Becoming a true all-round midfielder. 7
• The forward – Quieter as he has been in England's wins over previous opponents. It will be revealed next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Bukayo Saka – Added an setup to his excellent goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be vital to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
• The striker – Playing brilliantly. Took his total for the season to 20 scores. Has hit the back of the net 76 occasions for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• The forward – Clinical finish to start things off for England here in away. Has done a good job during this fixture period. 7.5

England Substitutes

• The veteran (for Rice 60) – Kept things moving in midfield. 6
• Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Superbly finished goal and a menace. 7
• The winger (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to make the squad when everyone's fit. 6
• The defender (for Stones 71) – Typically, managed everything in the air. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left was noticeable. 6

After qualification secured, the squad can now turn their attention for next summer with confidence.
