Midfielder Jack Wilshere believes the form of strikers Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge will bolster England's hopes of reaching the World Cup.
.
Both were missing for the 0-0 draw in Ukraine, but return for the double-header against Montenegro and Poland.
.
"Sturridge is the best striker in the league this season," Wilshere said of the Liverpool forward, who is the top-scorer in the Premier League so far.
.
"Rooney doesn't lose his appetite and is Manchester United's best player."
.
They are two of five forwards in the squad selected by coach Roy Hodgson for the matches against Montenegro on Friday and Poland next Tuesday.
.
The Arsenal midfielder is confident England have the required firepower to win the remaining fixtures - which would guarantee qualification for Brazil.
.
"Rickie Lambert [of Southampton] has done a great job," the 21-year-old added.
.
"He scored a couple [against Scotland and Moldova] and did well in Ukraine which was a difficult place to go. To be up there on your own and do the job he did, he did really well.
This is very true cos both players are on fire right about now. They've done really well for their respective clubs!
