Sven-Goran Eriksson’s and Morten Olsen’s teams will play at Copenhagen’s 42,300-capacity Parken Stadion, which hosted the UEFA Cup Final in 2000.

Sven is greatly looking forward to the match. "Denmark have a deserved reputation for attractive,attacking football," he told us.

"The 'Danish Dynamite' team of the late '80s and early '90s were wonderful to watch, with players like Preben Elkjaer-Larsen, the Laudrup brothers and Peter Schmeichel.

"Their victory in the 1992 European Championship was one of the most incredible stories in modern football. Their team spirit and self-belief were fantastic, and they deserved their success.

"Morten Olsen was also one of their greatest-ever players and he has shown himself to be a top-quality coach.

"I am expecting a very difficult game which will be excellent preparation for the final matches of our qualifying campaign."

Many of the current Danish players will be familiar to English fans, such as Thomas Sorensen, Jesper Gronkjaer, Dennis Rommedahl, Thomas Gravesen and Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Their manager, Morten Olsen said: "England is an outstanding opponent. The match is against the most traditional football nation in the world and a team which always delivers a 100% effort.

"It is a perfect timing as preparation for our World Cup qualifier against Turkey two weeks later. And - let’s not forget - we won our last encounter at Old Trafford a year ago."

Denmark currently sit second in Group 2, with six points from four matches after a victory against Albania and draws against Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia.

The two countries have met a total of 16 times, with England winning ten, drawing four and losing twice.

Sven’s team scored a notable victory at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, when goals from Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen and Emile Heskey saw England progress to the Quarter-finals on a rain-soaked night in Niigata.
