Southampton striker Lambert fighting for World Cup place

Southampton striker Ricki Lambert knows he's fighting for an England World Cup place.

Lambert agreed that it was "probably" a battle between himself and West Ham's Andy Carroll for a place in Roy Hodgson's squad this summer.

"I think they will matter," he said. "I think he's obviously watching everyone, so it's going to be hard decisions and that's good.

"Obviously, he wants hard decisions, and he's going to have a few.

"I understand I might be one of those situations, so I've just got to try and do well now, and score some goals in the remaining four games."
