Steven Gerrard expects "tough game" against Montenegro

Steven Gerrard has conceded that England will face a "tough game" when they take on Montenegro in Podgorica tomorrow evening.

As it stands, the Three Lions are two points behind Montenegro, who lead the group with 10 points from their four matches.

Looking ahead to the clash, captain Gerrard has revealed that he is "looking forward" to playing in a fixture that has plenty riding on the outcome.

"These are the big games you look forward to as a player, it will be a tough game, a decisive game and we are looking forward to it. Montenegro are littered with good players and it will be tough," he told reporters.

A report has suggested that Gerrard will be recalled to the starting lineup for the encounter, having been rested for the 8-0 win over San Marino.
