Hodgson confident England won't take Moldova lightly

England coach Roy Hodgson is confident his players won't take Moldova lightly in their World Cup qualifier.

Hodgson's men opened their World Cup qualifying campaign with a five-goal hammering of the Eastern Europeans 12 months ago.

"Moldova also lost in the last minute to a very fortunate goal against Montenegro, otherwise they'd have an even better points tally," said Hodgson.

"I don't think I need to caution the players or guard against complacency and I don't think I've seen any signs of that in the games we've played.

"If I did think any complacency was creeping in I'd be very quick to move in and quash it."
