England international goalkeeper Joe Hart is confident that he will be able to stop Poland striker Robert Lewandowski from scoring in their 2014 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old came up against Lewandowski during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund at home in the Champions League earlier this month.

"I hope it won't be any different," he is quoted as saying in The Daily Mail. "Hopefully the game itself won't be as open as the last time I played against him. It is a big, important game for us and I'm looking forward to it.

'That's the beauty of international football - when you're playing away you're playing against the nation.

"But we will have that pocket of fans who we always take and are awesome. We will look to them and be inspired by them, which is great."

England are currently at the top of Group H with seven points from three matches.
