Ashley Cole believes Luke Shaw is winning the battle for England's starting left-back spot.

The Manchester United star shone in place of Chelsea's Ben Chilwell against Albania on Sunday, nabbing an assist in the 2-0 win.

With Chilwell playing inconsistently at Stamford Bridge, Cole thinks Shaw is number one at the moment.

Speaking on ITV, Cole said: "I think at the moment Shaw is in the lead.

"It is a tight one but I think Shaw is just pipping it at the minute. I think he is playing more consistently for Manchester United, where as Chilwell . . . some days he plays and some days he does not [for Chelsea].

"But who knows? Going into the last games of the Premier League season, who can hold their nerve and keep that consistency up before the squad gets announced?"
