Neither Serbia nor England were at their sparkling best over the weekend, so both sides will be looking to deliver not just three points but also a statement performance when they meet in Belgrade for this World Cup qualifier. For Serbia, it's a chance to show they can trouble one of Europe's giants on home soil, while England know this is their toughest test of the campaign so far.
The Eagles edged Latvia 1-0 last time out, a result that kept them unbeaten in seven matches and sitting comfortably in second place in Group K. Their resilience at home is especially impressive , Serbia haven't lost a World Cup qualifier in Belgrade since October 2012, a run that has seen them frustrate the likes of Croatia, Portugal, Denmark, and Spain. That's the kind of record that makes Stojkovic's men believe they can use to best England .
