Tuesday, 20 June, Kick-off: 2000 BST
vs
Venue: Cologne - RheinEnergieStadion
Referee: Massimo Busacca.
Sweden (probable): Isaksson, Mellberg, Lucic, Edman, Linderoth, Alexandersson, Ljungberg, Wilhelmsson, Kallstrom, Allback, Larsson.
England (probable): Robinson, Carragher, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole, Beckham, Lampard, Hargreaves, Cole, Owen, Rooney.
Sven will rest Crouch and Gerrard in light of their yellow cards. Carragher starts again for the injured Neville. Hargreaves slots into the mid-field and will be looking to have a good performance to silence the boo boys. Hopefully with Hargreaves holding we'll get the best out of Lampard. Rooney starts but all eyes will be on Michael Owen. Owen needs a goal desperately. When that first one comes he'll be fine.
England haven’t beaten Sweden since 1968. I'd settle for a draw which would see us top the group but we need a better performance going into the knock out round.
