Will TideyOct 11, 2013

With two games of World Cup qualifying remaining, England can't afford a slip-up. Two wins and Roy Hodgson's team will be in Brazil next summer; anything else and they may face a play-off.

First up, England take on Montenegro in Wembley. 

The Three Lions are currently top of Group H, having won four and drawn four of their eight matches. Last time out against Montenegro they drew 1-1 away.

Hodgson's team to face them in London is a bold one. Tottenham's Andros Townsend starts, with Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck all getting the nod also.

B/R's Karl Matchett will be bringing you player ratings and analysis and halftime and on the fulltime whistle. 

1st-half analysis

Hart—Little to do but sweeping up well

Walker—Got forward a few times well but no end product

Cahill, Jagielka—Not dominating Damjanevic enough

Baines—Expecting a bit more thrust from him down left since England have had so much possession

Gerrard—Biggest threat for now but all from distance, has won the ball back well and chased a lot

Lampard—Not very involved other than keeping passing going

Townsend—Started well but gone a little quiet after the few runs to begin

Welbeck—A few shots but needs to get better runs beyond front line into space

Rooney, Sturridge—Not enough movement, both had poor shots, both need to do a lot more
