France v England

Wednesday’s International Football France v England



France v England – Live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 8:00pm

Tonight’s big match sees former World Champions France host England at the Stade de France. David Beckham will win his 100th England cap and Rio Ferdinand will lead the side out as captain in Fabio Capello's second match in charge.

England made a positive start to the Capello era with a 2-1 victory over Switzerland at Wembley last month and they will be keen to follow it up with another success as the long build-up to this autumn's World Cup qualifiers continues.

Beckham has once again been the centre of attention ahead of the clash at Stade de France and Capello has confirmed that he will become England's fifth centurion after Peter Shilton, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Billy Wright.

Last time these sides met was a nail-biting classic at Euro 2004, when England led thanks to a Frank Lampard header, until the 90th minute, when two quick-fire Zinedine Zidane goals gave the game to France. Zizu has retired, but there will be plenty of survivors from that game on show, though not from the last Three Lions victory over France in 1997. The sides have met three times since then, with two French victories and a draw, but neither side is in sharp form. France have won just two of their last seven games, while England’s miserable Euro 2008 qualification bid is well documented.

France have been priced as favourites at 11/8 with Boylesports, meanwhile England have been priced at 21/10 with Hill's to get the win.
