#2 Plenty of goal-scoring options

England have a number of players in their line-up who are capable of scoring goals regularly. Harry Kane, who won the Golden Boot in the last World Cup, again scored in each of their last 2 matches. Sterling scored a wonderful hattrick against the Czechs and provided a beautiful assist to Kane in the match against Montenegro.

Kane now has 22 goals from 37 matches in his international career. Moreover, as we have already discussed, Barkley is emerging as a goal-scoring option for them. He has an eye for goal and gets into scoring positions frequently.

England also has young forwards like Marcus Rashford and Lingard, who have had a decent season for Manchester United. As a result, the goals have poured in for them in their last few matches. England also beat Spain 3-2 away, and Croatia 2-1 at home last year, and those results show that they have been regularly scoring a lot of goals in the recent past.
