Tuchel hopes eight-out-of eight England will strike fear into rivals next summer... but they still have lots of room to improve

THOMAS TUCHEL hopes England will strike fear into their World Cup opponents - but insists they are a long way from being perfect.

The Three Lions' impressive qualifying campaign of eight straight wins without conceding a goal has marked them out as one of the pre-tournament favourites.

They have a prolific striker in Harry Kane, a world-class midfielder in Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka's supply line, and are becoming more dangerous from set-pieces.

England will go into next month's draw - in Washington on December 5 alongside Spain, France, and Argentina as potential winners.
