Oliver Burke hopes his move to Germany will help him give a much-needed boost to Scotland on the international stage. Santi Cazorla Arsenal Jersey UK . Scotland take on England in a World Cup Qualifier at Wembley on Friday sitting fourth in Group F after a 3-0 defeat to Slovakia last month.But while Burke has made a fine start to his time with RB Leipzig following his record £13m move from Nottingham Forest in the summer, the 19-year-old has just four international caps to his name after making his debut against Denmark in March and has played down comparisons with Gareth Bales impact with Wales Burke hopes to win his place back in the Scotland team to face England Its obviously normal but it is not a thing people concentrate on - youre worth this or that. Its not about that, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Theyre nice comparisons. Whenever something like this happens there are always comparisons but you have to look at what Gareth Bale has done, he has won Champions League medals and is at Real Madrid and he has pretty much done everything.For me, Im nowhere near that, nowhere near his level. Im still a young boy; there is still a long way for me to go. You can compare but, for me personally, Im Oliver Burke and Im myself and I just do what I can do and work to give 100 per cent. Oliver Burke is settling into his new life in Germany and aims to win the Bundesliga in his first season at RB Leipzig Of course, Bale has been the highlight for Wales but they have many talents in their team. You cant just say Wales have got where they are because of Gareth Bale - that would be a horrible thing to hear for a team-mate of Gareth Bale in Wales.There is always going to be pressure with big moves but Ive just got to keep pushing myself and not get it all on top of me which is going really great so far. Im in a very happy place, the happiest Ive been. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Burke was dropped for the defeat to Slovakia, a result which has piled the pressure on manager Gordon Strachan ahead of the trip to Wembley.Obviously I was very disappointed not being a part of that squad and sitting and watching the game for me wasnt the greatest of things. I will admit it, I wasnt happy but, at the end of the day, if thats what Gordon thinks is right and he is happy with that decision then that is fine, I am still happy to be there and still happy to be part of the squad. Burke has won four caps for his country Gordon Strachan has been brilliant with me, he got me into the squad and really helped me settle into the team nicely, but football is a winning game and of course these things happen. Ill go into this next camp and give my all again. There are no hard feelings or anything like that.We are going to go into the game like we are going to win. We are a passionate team and we strive for victory but it is a big occasion. Hopefully we do very well. I am excited to be a part of that; it is my first game against England.Of course we have to win - we have no option.

In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Matteo Darmian Jersey UK . Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. http:///...HERNANDEZ-JERSEY-UK/ . PAUL, Minn.Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial are this week’s Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side Elite Players for the Manchester derby, but which one is worthy of your selection? Heres a look at the form of the four…Sergio Aguero Average points: 43.45The Argentina star will undoubtedly be the most popular pick from this weeks four players as the most prolific striker around. Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane may be top of the Premier League scoring charts but Aguero actually boasts a better goals-per-minute ratio, while he is clearly rated the most lethal man on the pitch by Sky Bet, who make him 3/1 favourites to score first, almost half the price of any other player.David SilvaAverage points: 54.52The 30-year-old has had his critics since returning from injury but has still racked up 10 assists this season. He is also sure to complete his fair share of passes, with 88 made in Citys 0-0 draw with Norwich last time out. Indeed, his chance creation and passing ability has been him average more points than Aguero this season, with more than 80 in each of his last two appeearances. Jeff Reine-Adelaide Arsenal Jersey UK. uan Mata Average points: 40.71The battle of the Spanish playmakers and their ability create chances for the frontmen is sure to be an important factor in the outcome of the Manchester derby. With five goals to his name, Mata may have scored three more than Silva this season, but has assist record is vastly inferior with just three. He also created just the single chance in Uniteds 1-0 defeat at West Brom in their last Premier League outing and made a relatively modest 29 passes, seeing him accumulate just 39.5 points.Anthony MartialAverage points: 39.30After three goals in his first two appearances, its been a disappointing campaign for Martial, with just four added to that tally. Louis van Gaals preference to play him on the flanks has clearly limited his threat, with Marcus Rashford preferred in a central role amid Uniteds worsening injury problems. However, the Frenchman was a last-minute saviour for United in their 1-1 draw with Everton in the FA Cup and also found the net in the Europa League against Liverpool on Thursday night.Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side line-up here.
