MATCH OF THE DAY
England v Poland Wed 12 Oct, 1930, BBC1 & BBCi
|
Gary Lineker is at Old Trafford where England will look to end their World Cup qualifying campaign on a high with victory against Group Six leaders Poland.
Both sides have already booked their tickets to Germany courtesy of the Netherlands' win in the Czech Republic.
Anything less than three points for England will see the Poles confirmed as group winners, further increasing the pressure on head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.
The Swede will be without captain David Beckham, who is suspended after his sending off against Austria on Saturday.
Beckham's absence is likely to mean an opportunity for Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips to showcase his talents on the right flank.
With Wayne Rooney returning after a one-game ban, England fans will be expecting more cutting edge from their star-studded side.
Poland lost the reverse fixture 13 months ago but have taken advantage of England's shock loss in Belfast to head the group.
Coach Pawel Janas will be keen to exact revenge for the defeat in Warsaw by frustrating Sven's side.
Gary Lineker will be joined in the Match of the Day studio by Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer.
John Motson and Graeme Le Saux will be in the commentary box at Old Trafford.
