Southgate demands England players maintain intensity to keep places

The Three Lions boss wants a certain mentality heading into the summer's Euros and will change up his squad if necessary to get it

Gareth Southgate has warned he will not tolerate any drop in intensity from players in the England squad and will replace any one who switches off.

The England boss is set to lead his squad in Euro 2020 qualification against Bulgaria on Saturday, followed by a match against Kosovo on Tuesday.

Having made successive tournament semi-finals between the World Cup and Nations League, and currently leading qualifying group A despite having played just two games, Southgate expects England to qualify for the Euros with ease.
