England boss Roy Hodgson believes his team will avoid the "doomsday" scenario of not reaching the 2014 World Cup.
.
Montenegro and Poland visit Wembley for qualifiers on 11 and 15 October respectively and England need two wins to secure their place in Brazil.
.
"My life at the moment is on these two games," said Hodgson.
.
"As for the doomsday scenarios put before me, I won't have to confront them because I believe and am confident the team will do it."
.
Hodgson's team came in for criticism from several former England internationals including Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker following the dour goalless draw in Ukraine last month.
.
However, they remain the only unbeaten team in Group H and are one point ahead of Ukraine and Montenegro.
.
On Tuesday England face Montenegro, with whom they shared a 1-1 draw in Podgorica in March.
