While England have remained in control of Group F since beating Slovakia 1-0 away with a last-gasp goal, they have hardly provided much excitement. Former captain Terry Butcher said the current England team lacked "something special" after the Malta victory. "We have some exciting players and we want to show that," Southgate said ahead of Monday's game against second-placed Slovakia, who are two points behind England. England are unbeaten in their last 36 qualifiers for major tournaments and have won their last 12. Slovakia, however, are their closest challengers having won five qualifiers in a row after a bad start to the campaign.
