England take on Scotland in Wednesday night’s friendly, as Roy Hodgson prepares his team for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and the Ukraine in September.
Wayne Rooney could play for England despite missing much of Manchester United’s pre-season with injuries. The striker has been dogged with transfer speculation too, and will look forward to having the chance to let his football do the talking.
England fans are excited about Jack Wilshere partnering Steven Gerrard in the middle of the park, with Michael Carrick expected to anchor the pair. Many believe a successful Gerrard/Wilshere combination is England’s best chance of doing well at next summer’s World Cup, and the Liverpool and England skipper has said he thinks Wilshere will eventually take over his armband.
The last time England played Scotland, they went down to a Don Hutchison header in the Euro 2000 play-offs, but a Paul Scholes brace in the away leg helped the Three Lions qualify. Although this evening won’t be quite as tense, it will give fans a chance to see which players Hodgson favours before next month’s crucial fixtures.
