Along with Spain, England have won all of their games in qualifying without conceding and if the two sides win their final matches of the campaign and keep a clean sheet they will become the first European nations to play at least six qualifiers and win them all without conceding.
The Three Lions have scored 20 goals without reply but Tuchel said he has not spoken to his players about the record they could set and his only focus is to continue building towards the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
“I didn’t speak a single word about that,” Tuchel said when asked if he was using the possible achievement as motivation going into England’s final qualifier.
“We need to get the foundation right to have a chance to have these records.
“Just by thinking about it or by talking about it, nothing will change.
“We need to deliver again. The feeling and the trust is absolutely there because I witnessed this in camp. I trust my players to perform again.”
The match against Albania is the last that England will play this year and will mean there is only one more international break before Tuchel names his squad for the World Cup.
And he wants his side to deliver a performance that shows the developments made since he officially took charge in January.
“In general I just hope and I feel the hunger for us to win, and to achieve something is bigger than the fear of losing and the fear of maybe losing a record of clean sheets,” Tuchel said.
