England shouldn't have too much of a problem continuing their perfect start to their Euro 2016 qualification campaign, as they travel to Tallinn to play Estonia on Sunday. As it stands, the Three Lions sit joint-top of their qualification group alongside Lithuania, with both sides having won all of their games so far. Estonia, meanwhile, have had a mixed bag, having beaten Slovenia last month only to lose to Lithuania on Thursday.

Estonia aren’t likely to pose England much of a threat on Sunday.
Mike Hewitt
England weren’t sparkling in their 5-0 win over San Marino a few days ago, and the winning margin arguably flattered the Three Lions. However, Roy Hodgson’s side still delivered what was expected, and will be content to have notched a few goals on the way. Estonia haven’t played England since they met in two Euro 2008 qualifiers back in 2007. England won 3-0 both home and away, though ultimately failed to make the tournament proper.
Key player - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (England)
England were alarmingly average in the first half of their match against San Marino on Thursday, though things improved markedly once Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain entered the field for the second half. The Arsenal man’s strength and pace caused great problems out wide for the part-timers, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him rewarded with a start away in Tallinn.
Key question - Will Estonia be able to hit England on the counter?
It’s fair to say that Estonia are a significantly better team than San Marino, and with them having home advantage, England should face a few more problems against them than they did at Wembley on Thursday. As such, the Three Lions won’t be able to as play as openly as they did against San Marino, or they risk being exposed out wide on the counter-attack.
