Stoke City star Jack Butland is eager to dislodge Joe Hart as the number one goalkeeper for the England national team.

Butland is eyeing off Manchester City keeper Hart's England place. Butland told reporters: "It is always an honour to come away with England. I am happy to be here and I'm looking forward to the week ahead.

"I feel like I am in great form and really happy to be back in the squad. But I'm not just here to make up the numbers. Joe is an incredible keeper and has established himself for a long time and to get to 50 caps is brilliant.

"But I want to put pressure on him and get some game time of my own. I just want to enjoy the week and show what I'm about and hopefully getting some game time. He (Joe) is a long way ahead in terms of experience, age and games under his belt.

"Over time I have to try and close that gap and hopefully I can do that. It is brilliant to train with these guys and it's great to be here and I'm looking to put pressure on him to try and get some games."
