England boss Roy Hodgson has urged his side to become more clinical in the final third in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia.

The Three Lions failed to score in their last outing against the Republic of Ireland as clear-cut chances were hard to come by at the Aviva Stadium.

Hodgson has called on his team to rediscover their scoring form and help maintain their 100% record in their qualifying campaign in Group E.

He told reporters: "It doesn't matter where the goals come from, that is just a statistic. That's not something that bothers me as much as hoping that we can improve our play in the final third.

"Quite often we have a lot of possession and get ourselves into good positions in those areas and we now need to be a bit more ruthless with our final ball and finishing, so we don't get ourselves in good positions and we have no goals to show from it."

England will be looking to make it six wins from six in qualifying when they take on Slovenia.
