Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has sung the praises of England coach Gareth Southgate.

Grealish will hope to be in action as England take on Senegal in the World Cup round of 16 tomorrow - having come off the bench in all three games so far in Qatar.

On pushing for a place in Gareth Southgate's starting XI, he added: "I think it's a difficult one for the manager.

"No matter what he does he's never going to win, because if Phil (Foden) doesn't start, it's 'Phil's gotta start'. If Rashy (Marcus Rashford) doesn't start, it's 'Rashy's on fire, he's gotta start'.

"He's proved himself as a brilliant manager over the past few years since he's been England manager.

"He's done well in the tournaments, he's led us again as group winners going into the last 16. I think sometimes the subs have as much of a part to play as the starters."
