Ukraine boss Oleg Blokhin has claimed that England are under much more pressure than his team ahead of the sides' Group D showdown in Donetsk tonight.
The Three Lions can guarantee a place in the last eight of Euro 2012 with a draw, while co-hosts Ukraine must win. However, Blokhin believes that Roy Hodgson's men have more to lose.
He explained: "We should consider England as leaders in the European championships. They also have problems because if they lose tonight it will be unexpected.
"There will be big problems for them, but it's not the same for us. The England team will be more nervous. We have nothing to lose.
"They are one of the favourites and are expected to play in the final. Nobody expects that we will fly to the moon."
Ukraine, who have been competing as a nation since 1992 when they gained independence from the Soviet Union, had never qualified for the finals of a European championships prior to Euro 2012.
