England manager Gareth Southgate will count on Harry Kane to continue his goalscoring form against Slovakia tonight as his side close in on qualification for next year's World Cup.


If England prevail against Slovakia they will need just two points from their last two games to secure automatic qualification.


"It has been brilliant to look at the bench and be able to bring on Marcus (Rashford), Danny (Welbeck), Jamie Vardy," said England manager Gareth Southgate.

"We've got (Jermain) Defoe and (Daniel) Sturridge on there, so we've got some real quality and people who can make an impact. Harry throughout the game is always a threat and he will score goals for us. He's proven that in the last few matches," he added.
