Gareth Southgate says there can be no let-up after sealing early qualification for Euro 2024, telling England’s players to grab next month’s chance to impress and ensure their place as top seeds cebu
Having set out their stall with an impressive victory over Italy in March’s Group C opener, three further wins and an away draw against Ukraine put them within touching distance of progress cebu
England took their chance to qualify for an eighth straight major tournament with two games to spare on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat holders Italy 3-1 at a sold-out Wembley cebu
Southgate’s Euro 2020 runners-up have silverware in their sights next summer and are waiting to find out how things will shape up in Germany at the draw in Hamburg on December 2 cebu
But before that comes the end of qualification at home to Malta and away to North Macedonia, with the England boss calling on his players to end an unbeaten 2023 on a high cebu
“We can now plan,” England boss Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live after their place at Euro 2024 was mathematically secured cebu
“We have been planning anyway for base camps and things because I think the days are gone where we didn’t do that in case it brought bad luck cebu
“We decided a long time ago that you have to plan as if you’re going to be there cebu
We now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year wellGareth Southgate“We still need to win the matches next month because I think it won’t be enough to win the group to be one of the top seeds, so we’ll need a high points tally as well cebu
“But also I want to see all the players again next month cebu
“We’re not going to flog them physically cebu
We didn’t do that this month cebu
We’ve looked after them cebu
We’re dealing well with the clubs on that cebu
“I have to say Manchester City were brilliant with this with John Stones cebu
We’ve managed his return to play really well and I think that’s worked for both of us cebu
“So we now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year, the calendar year, well as well next month cebu
”Southgate pledged to again give players the chance to stake their claims for a Euros spot in November’s fixtures cebu
“Similar to this month, we want to give people opportunities,” Southgate said at the post-match press conference cebu
“We need to win two matches firstly, but there’s a chance to look at look at players again, which we need to do cebu
”Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen returned to the set-up in October and will be hoping to get another chance to impress, having started against Australia, with the former scoring in the 1-0 friendly win cebu
Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah are also in that boat, having made their debuts on Friday before Southgate reverted to the tried and tested against Luciano Spalletti’s revitalised Azzurri cebu
The England boss made a full 11 changes from the cebu Socceroos encounter, with eight of Tuesday’s line-up having started the Euro 2020 final against Italy 27 months ago cebu
Skipper Harry Kane was, unsurprisingly, among them and took his record national team goal haul to 61 with his brace in the comeback triumph cebu
“There’s a risk we take the goals for granted,” Southgate said of the Bayern Munich sharpshooter cebu
“But his all-round play, his hold up play, the way physically dealt with the centre-backs, his vision, his passing – because we have had him for a while it’s easy to underestimate, but he’s a top-level player cebu
“He’s also now got a new experience at a different club, where he’s looking to win trophies all the time, and he’s got to win every week cebu
(There is a) different sort of focus and pressure as the big signing there, so all of that’s good cebu
“I think he’s enjoying also coming back to England and mixing with the lads because he’s very close with all of the group cebu
“I’ve said before, our senior players set a brilliant example for the young ones cebu
“They provide that spirit cebu
They’ve been through so much together and they provide us with such a brilliant platform cebu

Aston Villa maintained their Champions League charge with a thumping 4-1 win over West Ham cebu
Douglas Luiz’s brace, including a second-half penalty, plus goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey moved them to fifth in the Premier League, just two points off top spot cebu
Jarrod Bowen’s deflected effort made it 2-1 but the hosts recovered for Watkins to smash in a crucial third before Bailey wrapped things up late on cebu
The Hammers, now five points adrift of Villa, slipped to just a third defeat of the season after struggling to match the hosts cebu
Villa had waited long enough for a victory over the Hammers, their bogey side cebu
They had recorded just one win in the last 10 years, a 1-0 victory when Villa were already on the slide in 2015, but under Unai Emery they are a different beast, having earned 10 straight home league wins for the first time in 30 years coming into this match cebu
Emery put his faith in Nicolo Zaniolo, starting while he assists the Italian authorities in their investigation into alleged illegal cebu betting activity cebu
A Sunday afternoon slumber hung over Villa Park in the opening stages but it was roused when Alphonse Areola brilliantly turned Luiz’s 25-yard effort wide cebu
It was a stunning save from the West Ham goalkeeper but he should have been beaten five minutes later cebu
Moussa Diaby’s pass evaded Kurt Zouma for Watkins to turn Vladimir Coufal cebu
The hard work done, the striker had just Areola to beat but dragged inches wide from 12 yards cebu
The momentum was with Villa so there was little surprise when they went ahead after 30 minutes cebu
Zaniolo and Watkins linked on the left with the England striker collecting a cute return pass to tee up Luiz on the edge of the box and he drilled low past Areola cebu
In scoring, the midfielder became the first Villa player to net in six straight home matches in the Premier League cebu
Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz celebrates his second goal against West Ham (Jacob King/PA)The hosts deserved their lead, Watkins close to doubling it two minutes later when he grazed the side-netting, and West Ham were too compliant as Diaby, Watkins and Zaniolo caused problems cebu
Villa were slicker than the Hammers, who waned in the last third with a final ball missing and Michail Antonio haphazard cebu
Any hopes of a comeback rested on a strong start to the second half but, instead, the Hammers self-destructed after 51 minutes to gift Villa total control cebu
There was little danger when the Hammers looked to play their way out in the corner but Lucas Paqueta’s wretched pass put Edson Alvarez in trouble cebu
Ezri Konsa darted ahead and Alvarez clattered the defender to concede a penalty which Luiz coolly converted cebu
It looked like a Villa cruise but the visitors pulled a goal back out of the blue five minutes later when Bowen’s shot from 25 yards clipped Pau Torres and rolled in the corner cebu
West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen celebrates after scoring the team’s first goal (Getty Images)The rarely-seen jitters returned to Villa Park and Matty Cash headed Nayef Aguerd’s strike over before turning Antonio’s dangerous cross behind cebu
Yet Villa ended any hopes of a recovery with 16 minutes left cebu
The Hammers had the hosts on the ropes briefly but were caught out by John McGinn’s long ball to Watkins cebu
The striker, fresh from his winner for England against Australia during the international break, still had plenty to do but sold a dummy to Zouma before drilling into the roof of the net from an angle cebu
Substitute Bailey then wrapped up the points with a minute left, collecting Youri Tielemans’ pass, sidestepping Aguerd and finding the top corner cebu
