England tiptoed past lowly Andorra with a narrow 1-0 win in Saturday's World Cup qualifier and will now shift gears for a midweek friendly against Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham.
The result kept the Three Lions perfect in their qualifying group, three wins from three, but the showing in Barcelona left plenty to be desired.
Thomas Tuchel's side looked more sluggish than sharp, and the manager will be itching for a statement performance when they welcome a far more dangerous Senegal outfit.
Senegal, meanwhile, are riding a wave of momentum. Their 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland on Friday stretched their unbeaten streak to 13 matches, and they won't be rolling into Nottingham just to make up the numbers.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

England vs. Senegal predicted lineups, team news
Thomas Tuchel is expected to shuffle the deck for Tuesday's friendly, with a flurry of fresh faces likely to get their chance under the lights in Nottingham. Still, captain Harry Kane, who bagged the decisive goal against Andorra, is set to retain his spot, while Noni Madueke, one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise flat showing, should also get the nod again.
Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ivan Toney, and Trevoh Chalobah are all in line for potential starts, eager to stake their claim. One name who won’t feature, though, is Ollie Watkins, who bowed out of the squad with a minor knock just before the Andorra game.
England predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly — Bellingham, Rice — Madueke, Eze, Gordon — Kane.
Injured: Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ivan Toney, Trevoh Chalobah.
Suspended: None.
Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw looks set to shuffle his pack as well, with a few heavy hitters primed to return to the fold. Nicolas Jackson, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Idrissa Gueye — all rested for the draw in Dublin, are expected to roll back into the starting XI on Tuesday.
Ismaila Sarr, who came off the bench to net the late leveler against Ireland, has likely played his way into the first lineup too, as the Crystal Palace winger continues to make his presence felt. However, the Lions of Teranga will be without their longtime talisman Sadio Mane, who opted out of this international window and was excused from both friendlies.
Senegal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Mendy (GK) — Mendy, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Jakobs — Sarr, Gueye, Camara — Diatta, Ndiaye, Jackson.
Injured: Ilyas Chouaref.
Suspended: None.
