Michael Owen urges England to maintain form ahead of Poland clash

Owen urges England to maintain form

Former England striker Michael Owen has called on the Three Lions to maintain their positive form ahead of tonight's final World Cup qualifier against Poland.

Roy Hodgson's side can book their place in next year's tournament in Brazil if they win at Wembley this evening following their 4-1 triumph over Montenegro last Friday.

"We played really well the other night and although you don't want to get carried away, if we can continue that form, then we can start booking our flights to Rio," Owen told BBC Radio Five Live.

"We've had far too many draws, we've not beaten any of the top sides in the group. It's not been a great qualification campaign but if we win tonight, it all looks very comfortable and we are sat there at the top of the table."

England currently top Group H, leading Ukraine by one point.
