England boss Fabio Capello has yet to confirm whether or not Rob Green will keep his place in goal over the returning David James or the in-form Joe Hart. Former Hammer and new England captain, Rio Ferdinand, will not be involved due to a back injury, so Matty Upson looks set to start in the centre of defence alongside the under-fire and recently demoted captain, John Terry.
Carlton Cole will be looking to impress if he makes an appearance. He is fighting with Peter Crouch and Emile Heskey for one of two perceived spots on the plane to South Africa.
