England gets the chance to break the deadlock at the top of its qualifying group for the 2012 European Championship when it hosts Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday.
England shares the Group G lead with tiny Montenegro but can take control if it beats the Swiss and its co-leader fails to beat Bulgaria.
After a 0-0 home draw with Montenegro, England got back on track with a 2-0 win at Wales in its last qualifier and the players know they cannot afford any more slip-ups.
Defender Joleon Lescott says “complacency is not going to be an issue. None of the boys think we just have to step out there to win the game.”
