England v Poland: Leighton Baines ready for 'tough' game

Defender Leighton Baines says England cannot afford to concern themselves with how Poland will approach Tuesday's World Cup qualifier at Wembley.

Roy Hodgson's men must win to guarantee a place at the 2014 World Cup, and Baines expects Poland to provide "tough" opposition despite their qualifying chances being ended by a 1-0 defeat in Ukraine on Friday.

England could still qualify through the play-offs if they do not win on Tuesday, but Everton left-back Baines - who is expected to start in the absence of Ashley Cole - insists his team are focused on victory.
