Pearce's boys have made a perfect start to their Euro 2013 qualifying campaign.

"The Belgians haven’t kept a single clean sheet in any of their previous five games and have shipped two in their last two encounters."

England have won their opening four games of their Euro 2013 qualifying group and show no signs of slipping up this Monday evening.

It's been a pretty good few days for English football.

Not only have Fabio Capello's men shown they can defeat - at least in a friendly - the best team in the world, but their U21 team have continued their rampant start to their Euro 2013 qualification campaign.

They dispatched Iceland 5-0 on Thursday, making it four wins from four in their qualifying group to leave them sitting at the top of the table, five points clear of Norway in second spot.

They now face a Belgium team who have won just one of their opening four games in Group 8 and sit in third place.

England are big favourites to win the clash at [1.69] and it's hard to see beyond a victory for Stuart Pearce's impressive youngsters against the [5.6] outsiders.

The Belgians haven't kept a single clean sheet in any of their previous five games and have shipped two in their last two encounters.

With England smashing home 16 goals in their opening four group games - including that 5-0 hammering of Iceland last week - having a punt on plenty of goals looks a great way of cashing in on England's goalscoring form.

Over 2.5 goals can be backed at a [1.72], while over 3.5 goals shouldn't be discounted at [2.84] - especially as England have averaged exactly four goals per game in their qualifying campaign so far.

Meanwhile, while England's attack is rampant, their defence is also extremely solid.

They have only conceded one goal so far in qualifying and have shipped just four goals in their last nine away games.

Backing England to win to nil at [2.14] looks incredibly tempting.

However, Belgium are not goal shy and have scored eight in their previous three games.

Admittedly, four of those came against a poor Azerbaijan team, but if you can see them carving open the Three Lions, then both teams to score can be backed at [1.62].
