Former England manager Glenn Hoddle is convinced that the Three Lions will confirm their World Cup qualification by beating Poland on Tuesday.

Roy Hodgson's side defeated Montenegro 4-1 on Friday, and Hoddle believes that they will complete the group stage with victory over Poland at Wembley.

"I can't see anything but an England win at Wembley — as long as they pick up where they left off," Hoddle told the Daily Mail.

"If we had scraped through 1-0, we would have got the points but people would wonder how we were going to play against Poland or fare in Brazil. But it was such a buoyant performance [against Montenegro] it will lift everyone.

"England are on a high but, by contrast, Poland's morale will be fragile after being beaten 1-0 by Ukraine and seeing their World Cup hopes disappear."

Meanwhile, the Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson has responded to critics by insisting that they talk a "complete load of rubbish".
