Former Nottingham Forest defender James Perch, speaking on BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up and Show More Football podcast about Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson: "I love him as a player. He can collect the ball from the back four and drive through the midfield, and create or look to shoot himself. He is like an old-school box-to-box midfielder who can do anything.

"He can play in the 10 position and link up with the striker, but he can also do the defensive work, he can pick up the ball from the back line and dictate play from there."

Since moving to Forest from Newcastle last summer, Anderson has made 20 Premier League starts, scored one goal and registered five assists.

Asked if Anderson could break into the England squad, Perch added: "Yes I think so, if he adds goals to his game, I think he's a top, top midfielder and one of the best English players in that position.

"He knows the more he keeps performing at the level he is now, he will be getting that call-up for England."

The City Ground is set to host England in a friendly against Senegal in June - the first time a men's senior match has been played at the stadium in 84 years.

The last time England visited Nottingham Forest's ground was a wartime friendly against Wales in 1941 - a game won 4-1 by the Three Lions. The last time a competitive England match was held there was in 1909, also against Wales.

"While I know Wembley is our home, I also understand the importance of taking the team around the country when we are able to and the opportunity to experience playing at a famous old English stadium, such as the City Ground, is one we can all look forward to," said new England boss Thomas Tuchel.
