England v Ukraine: Euro 2024 qualifying – live

[Getting six points out of six] would put in a really strong position, but also we want to develop those habits of consistent performances and consistent results. That’s the message we’ve delivered this weekend.

[James Maddison] has earned this opportunity. He’s been consistent for his club, his training with us has been at a really top level, so I’m really excited to see him play now. We want him to have the licence to drift; that’s what he’s good at. He’s great at finding pockets of space so I don’t want to restrict him too much. He’s obviously got to do his work without the ball but when we’ve got the ball he’s got that freedom to go and hurt them.

It’s great to have [Ben Chilwell] back and in good condition. He’s excellent getting forward and running in behind, so we’re excited about seeing that pair [with Maddison] down that side. We’re hugely respectful of everything that’s happening [in Ukraine] and there are lots of tributes here and a lot of sympathy and support. Equally, from our perspective, we have a job to do, and they want to knock us out. It is a game of football, there are a lot more important things going on in the world, but our focus has to be on this.
