Victory not assured says McClaren

However the facts speak for themselves - estonia have not scored a goal or won a single point in this qualification session. For Enlgand though it is a must win as they are thrird in their table behind Russia and Croatia.

McClaren went to watch Estonia's 1-0 defeat to Croatia on Saturday and discovered that it is an incredibly attacking team so his defence needs to be strong.

The only change to the team that drew with Brazil is predicted to be Alan Smith dropped to the bench in favour of Peter Crouch. With Wayne Rooney suspended and Hargreaves injured McClaren is forced to partner Crouch with Owen and play Gerrard and Lampard in the middle of the park. Beckham is believed to have kept his place in the squad. McClaren said that he was not suprised by Beckham's work rate on Friday and will look forward to picking him in the future even though he has lacked pace of late claiming that with crosses like his who needs to get beyond full-backs.

England 'keeper Paul Robinson is more confident about Monday's game as he hopes to rekindle the form he showed against Brazil. Claiming that a draw with Brazil feeling like a dissapointment can only show that Enlgand have improved of late.

Robsinson points out that after Monday four out of the last five qualifiers are at home and from Fridays atmosphere he can tell that that is a good thing. He believes that if we move with the pace and agility that we did on Friday and couple it with the confidence of returning plares, Beckham and Owen they can win.
