Gareth Southgate is relishing the headache brought by increased competition as England's players look to stake their claim ahead of Euro 2020.

Next summer is shaping up to be one to remember, with the semi-finals and final among seven European Championship matches to be hosted at Wembley.

The tournament presents a great opportunity for England to follow in the footsteps of the heroes of 1966 World Cup by winning silverware on home soil and the side moved a step closer to sealing qualification with Saturday's 4-0 win against Bulgaria.

"Of course, we've got to get the balance right of keeping on winning matches and blood those players at the right times but, yes, English fans should be hugely excited when they see the likes of him and Sancho coming on and the impact that they can have already is.

"We love working with them because the mentality is good; it's not just that they've got talent, they want to get better and it's up to them how far they go."

James Maddison and Tyrone Mings are the remaining uncapped players in Southgate's 23-man squad after Aaron Wan-Bissaka returned to Manchester United due to a back complaint.

Team-mate Jesse Lingard followed suit on Saturday due to illness but there are no plans to call up any reinforcements ahead of the match against Kosovo in front of a sell-out St Mary's crowd.
