Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has defended the Euros form of Adam Lallana.

Ahead of England's Euros clash with Iceland, Murphy wrote for BBC Sport: "It looks like Roy (Hodgson) is going to bring in Raheem Sterling but I'd have retained Adam Lallana, because he has been terrific. I imagine that if Sterling does start it will be on the left of the front three, with Daniel Sturridge just tucked in off the right again.

"What Sturridge gives you, especially around the box, is his ability to go past people. He has got quick feet that can open up the kind of packed defence England will face in Nice.

"I have got a feeling Roy will go for Harry Kane in the middle because Iceland will not leave any space behind their back-line for Jamie Vardy to exploit. He will probably feel that Kane is a bit better with his back to goal on the edge of the box.

"Personally, I would leave Vardy in because he looks that little bit sharper - although Kane could easily make me eat my words, because he is the sort of player who can go a couple of games without playing well then bang a wonder goal in.

"Whoever plays, though, we should be good enough."
