Montenegro vs England: 5 Players Who Will Decide The Game

4. Steven Gerrard - England

The England Captain is expected to return to the side after being rested against San Marino and could hold the key to unlocking a stubborn and well organised Montenegrin defence. We all know what Steven Gerrard brings to the table, he will work hard, track back, keep the ball and has the ability to split defences with passes that most players could only dream of making. It is expected that Michael Carrick will partner him in the middle of the park and this will give the Liverpool Skipper more of a license to drive the team forwards, knowing that Carrick will play a deeper role; Also, Gerrard is a leader, he will make sure that his team mates are focused on the task at hand and, as he always does, lead by example. England are a better team with Steven Gerrard in it, there can be no doubts about it, and with the creativity he can bring along with the ability he has to score goals himself, he is a key player tonight.
