'I'll Take One': Everton Stopper Jordan Pickford Reveals How England Are Preparing for Penalties

England stopper Jordan Pickford has revealed that he and his teammates have been practising penalties ahead of this summer's World Cup.

England have lost six out of seven competitive shootouts, and while the team aren't taking anything for granted, Gareth Southgate wants his players prepared.

It's hard to judge the nation's World Cup expectations this time around. Having failed to deliver anything impressive for years, nobody seems to think England will pull up any trees - yet there's a strange sense of optimism ahead of Russia.

However, Pickford, who's gunning for the number one spot, has admitted that the players are preparing for every eventuality.
