England must become used to favourites tag – Southgate

The England boss says it's time for the Three Lions to embrace their new position at football's top table after a favourable Euro 2020 qualifying draw

England need to start getting used to being favourites after being given a kind Euro 2020 qualification draw, according to manager Gareth Southgate.

The Three Lions were drawn into Group A on Sunday and will face Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Kosovo in their bid to reach the tournament.

England's Nations League exploits mean they are already assured of at least a play-off spot, as they finished top of their group ahead of Spain and Croatia, while they also impressed at the World Cup earlier this year.
