New boss Thomas Tuchel will lead the Three Lions out at Wembley for his first fixture in charge of last year's European Championship runners-up.
Fixtures take place across five international windows between now and November, with only the top team from each of 12 groups qualifying automatically for the finals - second-placed sides must participate in the playoffs.
So, England will aim to seize control of Group K this month, as one of the favourites for global glory play their first pair of matches under Tuchel: after hosting Albania on Friday, they welcome Latvia to London three days later.
In a group also featuring Serbia and Andorra, the Three Lions are expected to finish first, partly owing to the wealth of talent at Tuchel's disposal and partly due to their superb recent record en route to World Cups.
Unbeaten across their last 31 qualifiers for FIFA's top tournament - winning 23 times in the process - England hold the longest ongoing run of any European nation. Only once before have they ever lost their first fixture of a campaign - to Germany in October 2000, in the final game at the old Wembley Stadium.
