'Mount used to playing deeper in midfield'published at 19:17 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2020
England v Iceland (19:45 GMT)
England manager Gareth Southgate on Sky Sports: "It's important to build on the games we've had so far this autumn, it's an opportunity to look at some young players again, which is exciting.
"There's a message that every game is important and I was very impressed with the approach of the players over last few days. There is a lot of pressure on them to pull out, they haven't and that says a lot about them as a group."
On Mason Mount's position in the side: "Mason Mount is more used to playing there, deeper in midfield, with Phil Foden further forward, so we've gone that way round. Also a chance to see the interplay between him Harry [Kane] and Jack [Grealish] in particular. We need to get numbers high up the pitch, they will have a packed defence.
"We have a certain type of player available to us, we don't have as much speed available tonight so we have technicians. Short, sharp movements will break down hopefully the defence."
On Iceland: "Iceland will be very solid, we need to draw people out and drive the ball forward from the back. We have got to make sure we are defensively sound."
