Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist believes keeping Harry Kane quiet will be the key to beating England. The skipper intends to cut off the supply to the six-goal top scorer in today's World Cup quarter-final against the Three Lions in Samara.

"We have been very strong on set-pieces but this is one of England's strengths as well and they have Harry Kane, who is really dangerous in the penalty box," he said. "We need to be very strong in the box and make sure they don't get the service they need. "He is incredibly skilled, not just on penalties, but as a striker — he is good at everything. "It's going to be a very tough match against him but we're going to do everything to stop him."
