England coach Gareth Southgate wants to see his young players take their chance in today's friendly against Australia.

Southgate has challenged Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea defender Levi Colwill to show him what they can do.

He said, Our job is to try and alleviate pressure from the team but you have to deliver with England and we have to win matches, so we have got to be good at handling and coping with pressure. These boys are more than capable.

There is no question in my mind. They are fighting against good players and they are younger and less experienced than some of the others.

Colwill and Nketiah, for example, we would not have picked them if we did not think they could not be part of England's future.

They have got to take it step by step and try to go out and give the best version of themselves."
