England and captain Harry Kane could both achieve historic feats when Senegal rock up to the City Ground for an international friendly on Tuesday evening.

The Three Lions returned home on the back of a lacklustre 1-0 World Cup 2026 Qualifying win over Andorra, who succumbed to a Kane goal in the early stages of the second half.

As uninspiring as that success was, it prolonged Thomas Tuchel's perfect start in the hotseat, as the German also masterminded successes over Albania and Latvia in March.

England therefore remain top of Group K as they seek a straightforward path to North America, and Tuchel's defence is yet to be breached since he took over either.

The Three Lions have kept three clean sheets in three matches under the ex-Chelsea boss, while Lee Carsley's final two fixtures last year saw England also keep Greece and the Republic of Ireland at bay.

England vying for unprecedented win record vs. Senegal

Should Tuchel's team come up trumps on Tuesday without conceding, it will mark the first time in history that England men have won six matches on the spin while keeping a clean sheet each time.

The 1966 World Cup champions previously won five in a row without conceding in 1982, but that streak was broken in a 1-1 friendly draw with Iceland under Ron Greenwood.

Tuchel has confirmed that changes are in order for Tuesday's game, although one guarantee is that Kane should see the field at some point, on what would be his 107th appearance for his nation.

Prior to netting the vital goal vs. Andorra, the Bayern Munich marksman also made the net bulge against Albania and Latvia, putting him on the brink of another slice of history.

If Kane adds to his 72 England goals on Tuesday, he will become the first Three Lions player to ever score in a manager's first four games in charge of the country.

Which England managers have won their first four games?

Kane and England have fond memories of facing Senegal, who were brushed aside by Gareth Southgate's side 3-0 in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup, their first meeting in a senior men's international.

If the Three Lions can make it two for two against their African foes, Tuchel will join an exclusive club of managers to win their first four matches in charge of the 1966 World Cup winners.

Only Walter Winterbottom and Sven-Goran Eriksson have ever overseen four victories from their first four England matches; the former beat Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Wales and the Netherlands before a 1-1 draw with Scotland in game five.

Meanwhile, Eriksson prevailed in each of his first five contests in 2001, losing his hot streak in a 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands during his sixth match at the helm.

Attacker Bukayo Saka was born just a couple of weeks after that loss, and the Arsenal winger also delivered an update on his injury on Monday ahead of the visit of Senegal.
