Ramsdale has revealed that players are winding him up about him going on about Arsenal being top.

The 24-year-old said: "Most of the banter is coming from Conor Coady and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

"They keep walking around pretending that I've said, 'Five points clear', every day."

The goalkeeper will be hopeful to get some minutes in Qatar, but he will have to overtake regular number one Jordan Pickford.

The Everton shot-stopper has been between the sticks for Gareth Southgate in the last two international tournaments.

Ramsdale however joked that if he does make it on to the pitch that he will be most worried about his dad.

He added: "There were definitely a few tears shed from him [when he got the call].

"If I make it on to the pitch, he might not return home - he might have a heart attack.
