Martin Jol: "I think it is a very important game to us. One that could change the season. But that is for them as well. They know it is an important game as well. I don't think we will see many changes. If you see them play, they play in quite an extraordinary style for England. It is a different style but hopefully we can take the game to them, take the initiative and take control.
