OPINION: England once feared trips to Prague and Sofia - now Southgate relishes them.

More from Sterling: "We're developing and we're kind of getting that winning mentality. The Nations League was a bit disappointing, but we've got another chance now and I feel that a lot of the players don't just want to be involved in tournaments and finish in the quarter-finals and say that was a good run."

Raheem Sterling on England's attack: "Still learning, but at the same time are producing as well, so, yeah, it's an exciting front three. But, you know, we've got to do it in big games, big tournaments. That's when we'll be judged if we're a great front three or not."

Gareth Southgate: "The Czechs have a wonderful football history really... More successful than ours, in European Championships in particular, but there are a lot of countries in that situation. We've got to take on each challenge and we're a team who are slowly improving, learning all the time."

So, it's three changes for England following their high-scoring 5-3 victory over Kosovo in September. The stand-out line sees Mason Mount make his first start for the senior side while Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose come into the full back berths.
