James Chester: England don't have anyone to rival Gareth Bale

West Brom's Welsh defender James Chester says England don't have any players as talented as Gareth Bale.

Roy Hodgson's team face Wales in a crucial Euro 2016 match in Lens tomorrow.

Chester will likely line up in defence for Chris Coleman's side against Harry Kane, who scored 25 Premier League goals last season, or Jamie Vardy, who bagged 24.

England also boast Dele Alli, Adam Lallana, and Wayne Rooney, but the Baggies defender reckons the most threatening player on the pitch will be in red.

"They've got a lot of attacking talent, but I don't think they've got anything like we've got in Gareth," he said.

"They're certainly very talented individuals and they've got a lot of goals in them. But Gareth's on a different level, he is just such a special player."

Chester, who qualifies for Wales through his mother, is relishing the opportunity to upset England, and he gave a little insight into Coleman's game plan.

"If there is a weakness, it's at the back," said the 27-year-old.

"So if we can keep it tight then we'll be confident we've got opportunities.

"Everyone in the group would take this game because a lot of us play in the Premier League and play against those individuals week-in, week-out.

"They're obviously the team we know the most about and we're confident that we can upset them.

"We just need to perform individually and as a team, and play like we did in the qualifiers. If we do that then anything's possible."
