James Milner: "Wembley is a great place to play. A lot of players play there a lot with England and their clubs so it's nothing new.

"We've had some good performances at Wembley as well so it's not a mental thing.

"We need to make sure next time we put on a performance at Wembley and put this sort of talk to bed.

"We don't prefer to play away but it might help us on Friday as they have to come out and attack to win the game because that will open things up for us and we'll be able to use the gaps.

"It makes it difficult when teams come to Wembley with 11 men behind the ball but we have to learn to break those teams down.

"At the start of qualifying, the main target was to win the group and we're in a position to do that.

"We need a point and we just need to finish the job now. But we go out to win every game we play.

"Only needing a draw is something nice to be able to fall back on but we're going to win.

"We saw at Wembley (where Montenegro held England goalless) that they will be tough opposition but we've had a couple of good results recently and are looking to continue in that vein.

"It's about grit and determination but you also want your quality to shine through as well. We want to get on the ball and play as well as we know we can."
