England will take San Marino, the world's worst national team in Fifa's rankings, "very seriously" as the Three Lions have yet to qualify for the World Cup, says boss Gareth Southgate.

England need one point from their final group game to ensure qualification.

San Marino are 210th - bottom - in the world rankings and have lost all nine group games in qualifying, conceding 36 times and scoring just once.

"We want a strong performance," said Southgate on Sunday.

The England manager added: "We want to make sure the team we start with tomorrow is a statement that we are here to do business.

"We have not qualified yet.

"We have got thousands of England fans travelling and we must put on a performance that underlines those facts. We're taking this very seriously."
