Montenegro hold a two-point lead over Roy Hodgson’s side at the top of Group H ahead of the pivotal clash in Podgorica after both countries triumphed - against San Marino and Moldova respectively - on Friday evening.

Gerrard, who missed England’s 2-2 draw in Podgorica 17 months ago through injury, said: "We believe, if we play to our level, we are more than capable of three points and that’s what we have come here for.

"We know we’ve got to play close to our maximum to beat this good team. We know if we play anywhere near our level, we will get the result.

"We are concentrating on what the manager wants of us, to be very good defensively and play attacking cheap football jerseys when we get the ball.

"These are the big games you want to play in. These are the atmospheres and stages you want to perform on as a player and a team. We will get a lot of credit if we get the result."

Gerrard insists he will not be making any special speeches in the dressing room before the game.

"Will I say anything before game? Not really," he added. "I just say my piece along with anyone else who wants to speak as well. The manager gives all the players the opportunity to speak.

"I don’t think this is a game for talking. All the players realise how important it is and we need to do our talking on the pitch

"I’ve got a lot of confidence in my team-mates. They’ve got some wonderful technicians but I’ve got confidence we are a better team if we play to our ability."
