England goalkeeping legend Gordon Banks has backed Joe Hart to continue seeing off all-comers for the No.1 jersey.

The 1966 World Cup winner has jumped to the defence of Hart, who has received criticism for some of his recent showings for Manchester City.

Hart will win his 28th cap when England take on Brazil at Wembley on Wednesday night as part of the FA's 150th birthday celebrations. Hart is3.75to keep a clean sheet in a game Roy Hodgson's side can be backed at15.00to win 2-0.

The 25-year-old now has Birmingham's Jack Butland on the radar to consider, but Banks believes Hart will hold down the position for years to come - as long as he doesn't take it for granted.

Banks insists: "I'm sure Joe will have a bit of work to do against Brazil. I can see them coming to try and beat us but Joe is doing very, very well. He looks confident about what he's doing, he's playing well for Manchester City, he commands his area, he's got good reflexes for a tall man and he dominates in the air.

"I don't believe there's anybody pressurising him. I just don't want him to get that complacency. I don't think he will do but we'll just have to wait and see."
