Following their respective wins in the competitive games last weekend, England and Ghana are set to face each other in a friendly game at Wembley.

The Three Lions made a big step towards the Euro 2012 by beating fierce rivals Wales at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and they will be full of confidence going into this match.

Fabio Capello has already hinted that he would field a second string line-up and the Italian has allowed John Terry, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney to return to their clubs.

Kyle Walker has returned to Aston Villa after picking up a groin injury, while Andy Carroll and Jermaine Defoe are likely to start up front.

Ghana have just recorded the first competitive victory under new boss Goran Stevanovic and the Black Stars enter this game full of confidence.

Ghana easily beat Congo away from home in the African Cup of Nations qualifier and they are now looking for a result against under-strength England side.

The visitors will be without Kevin-Price Boateng and Michael Essien, but English-based Richard Kingson, John Mensah, John Pantsil and Asamoah Gyan will be in the starting line-up.

England are seen as favourites by Victor Chandler as they are priced at 1.75 (3/4), while Ghana are 5.75 (23/5) to win the game at Sportingbet.
