SOUNDBITE (English) Roy Hodgson, England manager:

"Yes, it is a big occasion. I think all qualifying games are big occasions. We are looking forward to it. We've been fortunate in the sense that we've come through the match on Friday evening (2-0 win over Estonia) unscathed, in terms of injuries. I think we have a very interesting team for Phil (Jagielka) to lead out tomorrow. A young team, obviously, but players that we believe in. We are very conscious of the fact that we could have a perfect record if we were to win the game. We know also that it's not a given that you win the game. We are playing a team that also wants to win."

SOUNDBITE (English) Roy Hodgson, England manager:

"I actually know the surroundings. I know the stadium. I thought it was a very nice stadium. Obviously, we don't play on artificial surfaces all the time, but most of our players these days have some experience of it. I know Phil (Jagielka) has had a recent experience. So we are not overly concerned about that. The ball will run true and we are going to make certain that we play the sort of football that is going to be necessary to win us the game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Phil Jagielka, England defender and stand-in captain:

"Obviously delighted that Roy came and found me and broke the news (of his captaincy). It's a great honour for me personally, but like the manager just said, we got a big task ahead of us tomorrow. It's something that we can be proud of. We started this campaign a while ago and the job was to try and win every single game. Normally you say that and probably not a lot of people expect you to do so, but we've put in some great performances along the way and it's nice that tomorrow night we will have the opportunity to do so. We know it's going to be a difficult game. We've spoken about the surface. Yeah, it will be different, but at some extent a lot of us have even trained or played on similar surfaces, so we just really can't wait to get it going and hopefully get that tenth win and finish off in style."
