England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has insisted that his side will not be intimidated by the Podgorica crowd when they face Montenegro on Tuesday.

The two sides clash in a battle for top spot in Group H in what is expected to be a hostile atmosphere towards the Three Lions.

The match will go a long way to deciding the group, but the Arsenal man is adamant that England will be able to handle the pressure.

"It is the key game, definitely. It is good to win every game but, with them being top of the group, it is even more important," said Oxlade-Chamberlain. "You can't look too far into it because you then start getting distracted, and it puts added pressure onto you.

"We know what we've got to do, it's a pressure game but they are all pressure games for us. It will be hostile but if you look around this squad, the players have experienced hostile environments before at club and international level.

"It is a different challenge for us to overcome but, at the end of the day, it's a game of football and what goes on inside the white lines isn't to do with who is outside of them. We will speak about tactics before the game. If we can match them mentally and physically and approach the game in a right way, we've got a good chance."
