England arrange Germany friendly

Michael Owen scored a hat-trick against Germany in Munich, 2001

England will play Germany in a friendly match in Berlin on 19 November.

Fabio Capello's side will travel to the Olympic Stadium, the venue for the 2006 World Cup final, for the game.

"I'm delighted this fixture has been arranged, it should be a real challenge and something the players will look forward to," the England coach said.

England's last match against German hosts was the famous 5-1 victory in a World Cup qualifier in Munich in 2001, with Michael Owen scoring a hat-trick.

However Germany have since avenged the defeat with a 2-1 win over England in August last year.
