Now comes a real test for Tuchelball

ENGLAND COACH SAYS 'WE'RE READY TO GO'

- From John Cross in Belgrade

THOMAS TUCHEL finally faces a night of reckoning as England head coach.

It will be 328 days from when he was unveiled last October to England's World Cup qualifier in Serbia tonight.

Even though Tuchel only officially started on January 1, the German has had a pretty easy ride up to now. Five games, four wins and England have yet to be properly tested in a competitive fixture.

Four wins in Group K - but two of those were against Andorra and the only upset was in a friendly against Senegal in June.

And finally we might get an insight into what Tuchel's England are about in the loud, intimidating bear pit of the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade tonight.

England have the best World Cup qualifying record in Europe unbeaten in 35 with 27 wins from those games but actually Serbia's is pretty daunting, too.
