Gareth Southgate has vowed he will not overstay his welcome as England manager as he confronted criticism that his style is too negative.
England face Italy on Saturday at Molineux in a Nations League clash that Southgate is determined to win for a number of reasons. He wants to avenge last summer's defeat in the European Championship final and build confidence as the World Cup build-up intensifies.
Southgate is expected to play a back four against Roberto Mancini's side, a system he says is England's 'preferred line-up', but he will once again be without Manchester City forward Phil Foden, who is struggling with illness and may not be ready for Tuesday's match against Hungary either.
