Euro 2016 qualifiers: England can still overcome Estonia without Rooney

Despite boasting a 100 per cent record in qualifying, the only nation that can do so, Man City and England number one Joe Hart has called for his teammates to prove they can win Euro 2016 by continuing this rampant streak.

“I feel there is a great belief in the squad. We feel good. We have picked ourselves up,” said stopper Hart. “We were disappointed a couple of summers ago but life goes on. We had a two-year plan after that. We’re 12 months into that and then it is all about next summer.

“Winning 10 qualifying games wouldn’t crown everything, winning the tournament itself would do that. It isn’t that good an achievement unless we go on and win the whole thing.”

Hodgson could make wholesale changes to his line-up on Friday night, with Burnley’s Tom Heaton and Stoke City goal guard Jack Butland vying for Hart’s spot between the sticks. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s Dele Alli could debut in midfield, but Rooney is joined by Jonjo Shlevey and John Stones on the sidelines through injury.

Leicester City’s in-form Jamie Vardy may get further game-time after a stellar start to the top-flight term and is 9/2 to strike last, while rapid Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is 7/2 to open proceedings.

Estonia can still reach the Euro finals by ending their hapless run of seven away competitive internationals without a victory, but must also rely on the Swiss dropping points against San Marino, which is highly unliekly. Dmitri Kruglov is set for his 100th cap against England, while Aleksandr Dmitrijev returns from suspension, and Ats Purje is a possible goal threat at 6/1 to net anytime.

England will look to continue their perfect record in this latest clash with Estonia and potentially blood some youth into their line-up ahead of what they expect to be a successful summer in France next summer.
