With 15 points from 6 games, England occupy top spot in their group and look primed for qualification, in stark contrast to their opponents Montenegro who are one of two winless sides in Group A.

Although Gareth Southgate's side registered a stunning 6-0 victory away to Bulgaria, the game was marred with controversy as the Bulgaria fans were charged by UEFA for Nazi salutes and racist chants directed at England players.

Although the likes of Ross Barkley and Tom Heaton were initially called up, they've withdrawn from the squad in recent days owing to injuries. Dean Henderson has been one of the most consistent performers for Sheffield United this season and the 22-year-old has been called up to the senior squad for the first time, in Heaton's absence.

Jack Grealish was reportedly on the standby list but the Aston Villa captain is nursing an injury himself, meaning no replacements have been planned for Chelsea's Barkley at this point of time.
