What They're Saying
Slovenia head coach Srecko Katanec (via UEFA): "If we can make 50 percent fewer mistakes than in the first meeting at Wembley, there will be points for us. hope my guys do not come on to the pitch with any fear or too much respect. It is one of the most exciting matches in Slovenia in recent years, so we have to enjoy it. You don't play 90 minutes like this very often. I want our fans to support these boys, no matter what happens."
England head coach Roy Hodgson (via Mirror): "There have been a lot of changes. We have a lot of young players coming into the squad. It's a very different team to a year ago, an exciting team with a large margin of progression, that will grow and get better. I have to be satisfied that it is a season unbeaten up to now, seven wins and two draws. You can only play the opponents put in front of you, and we've won seven and drawn two."
