Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist believes stopping Harry Kane is the key to beating England.
The skipper intends to cut off the supply to the six-goal top scorer in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against the Three Lions in Samara.
He said: "We have been very strong on set-pieces but this is one of England's strengths as well and they have Harry Kane, who is really dangerous in the penalty box.
"We need to be very strong in the box and make sure they don't get the service they need.
"He is incredibly skilled, not just on penalties, but as a striker - he is good at everything.
"It's going to be a very tough match against him but we're going to do everything to stop him."
The former Wigan defender became a father for the second time on Thursday night but stayed with the Sweden camp in Russia.
His wife Sofie gave birth to a daughter and Granqvist is now eager to focus on Saturday's game.
He added: "I didn't sleep very much last night so I'm glad it's happened now.
"My wife did a wonderful job and everything went well.
"It's quite simple, getting a daughter is the most beautiful thing you can get.
"It's a dream for every player to play a quarter-final in the World Cup. I am looking forward to the match to get the best possible result. "
Sweden boss Janne Andersson is eager to face England having grown up watching English football, although he admits the Three Lions' style is different now.
"I grew up in the 70s and we used to follow English football. It was only one televised match a week in those days," he said.
"I was always a huge fan of English football, I can remember watching Kenny Hibbitt's Wolves and the muddy pitches.
"I grew up with this and England was my second nation. It's a wonderful feeling to face them as head coach of the Swedish team.
"But football has developed a great deal. What they still have is the heart and the spirit of fighting. I have always appreciated that but it's not the England I grew up watching."
