Lithuania v England: Hodgson's men seek perfect 10

The likes of Jack Butland and Jonjo Shelvey will be eager to impress on Monday when England aim to complete a faultless Euro 2016 qualifying campaign by securing victory in Lithuania.

Roy Hodgson's men have already qualified for the tournament in France next year and made it nine wins out of nine in Group E with a 2-0 win over Estonia at Wembley on Friday.

After that match, Hodgson confirmed Wayne Rooney, Gary Cahill, Michael Carrick, Joe Hart and James Milner would all be rested for England's final group game.

"I'm just in a zone, fully focused on what I want to do on the pitch, Barkley told The Football Association's official website.

"Playing at Wembley is like a dream. We have a lot of talent within the group and a lot of experienced players who help us.

"I really feel an important part of this squad and game by game hoping to stamp my authority on the pitch.

"Now our main aim to is go to Lithuania and get the job done there."

A 1-1 draw in Slovenia on Friday ended Lithuania's slim hopes of securing a play-off place and Igoris Pankratjevas' men will finish fifth in Group E should they suffer their sixth defeat of the campaign.
