Jordan Henderson confident of England improvement against Slovenia

Jordan Henderson has backed England to put in an improved performance during their upcoming Euro 2016 qualifier in Slovenia.

The Three Lions prepared for next weekend's match by playing out a 0-0 friendly draw with the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.

England struggled to pose much of a threat to Ireland during the game, but Henderson is confident that he and his teammates will be sharper against Slovenia.

"We have got a lot of work to do in preparing for the match with Slovenia but this was a good game for us to do that," the 24-year-old is quoted as saying by the Football Association's official website. "I think we will be a little disappointed with certain parts of the game and I think there are a lot of areas we can improve on.

"We kept a clean sheet and we are still unbeaten [this season], but we need to be a bit more clinical in front of goal and at finishing teams off. So that is what we will look to do this week. I think we are still in a good state, we go to Slovenia confident and hoping we can get three points there."

Henderson has made 21 appearances for England since 2010.
