Jamie Vardy insists he is not just Harry Kane's international back-up as he urged England to book their World Cup spot.
The Three Lions are one win away from sealing their place in Russia next summer as they top qualifying Group F.
They host Slovenia before travelling to Lithuania to wrap up their campaign next month and boss Gareth Southgate announces his squad on Thursday with five-goal Leicester striker Vardy set to be included.
Southgate watched him both score and miss a penalty in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Liverpool, while fellow forward Kane has nine goals in his last five games for Tottenham, including a hat-trick in Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League win at Apoel Nicosia.
