Montenegro boss Zlatko Kranjcar has insisted that his team will be prepared for England when the two sides meet next month.
Montenegro were joint-leaders of Group G before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium last night, which allowed England to take a three-point lead.
However, the Montenegro manager still believes that his side are capable of beating England and retaking the top spot.
"Even before the qualifying campaign started, England were the favourites," Kranjcar said in his post-match press conference. "Now they are in a great position to qualify automatically for the championship.
"However, you must remember that in the last game of their campaign they will be playing against us in Podgorica. We are ready and if we are prepared, then we will be in a position for the top place.
"We will not surrender and we will put no extra pressure on our players. England in itself is a great motivation for us."
Meanwhile, England can temporarily go six points clear with a win over Wales on Tuesday.
