"Dele Alli's inclusion in the group for the games against Lithuania and Estonia was the selection which caused eyebrows to be raised. After three Premier League starts for Tottenham and two Under 21 caps, suddenly Alli has been presented with a chance to stake his claim to go to Euro 2016."The Sky Sports compares the difficulty in gaining England caps during the 1990s and early 2000s, when prolific strikers such as Andy Cole and Les Ferdinand won less than 20 caps each.

Yet these were all top players who, if they were playing now, would be guaranteed 70 or 80 caps."However, according to Carragher, the level of competition has now plummeted.
Only 60 English players appeared in the Premier League last weekend, which means the chances of gaining what should be the ultimate honour for an England player are now around one in three.Grealish evidently fancies those odds.
