Arlauskis: 'Lithuania don't fear England'

Lithuania goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis has said that they will not fear England when the sides meet at Wembley on Friday.

The Three Lions go into the Euro 2016 qualifier against the Lithuanians six points clear at the top of Group E.

Arlauskis believes that Lithuania, who are ranked 94th in the world rankings, can make life difficult for Roy Hodgson's side.

"Lithuania is a team which plays with pride and our challenge is to make it tough and give England a challenge," the Steaua Bucharesti stopper told The Mirror.

"We respect England very much, we will play at one of the great stadiums but it will not make us play with any fear. It's a dream for a lot of us to play there but we have players with experience.

"Wayne Rooney is in great form, scoring goals and even if they are missing players, they still have great quality. England is the big favourite for this group. But there is still room for a surprise team."

Lithuania lost 4-0 to Switzerland in their last qualifier back in November.
