England's disappointing exit to Portugal in the World Cup back in June will ensure Steve McClaren's side are fired up for Saturday's game with Andorra says Steven Gerrard.

"What I've noticed from everyone still here from the World Cup is that everyone wants to use that experience to drive us on in the future," said England's vice-captain.

"You could see in the performance against Greece a team that is still desperate to prove itself at this level.

"The squad are excited. It's a fresh start for everyone. The manager has told us that in a meeting."
