England top Group 6 from Poland by just a point, but are looking to win at Old Trafford to take them a step closer to qualifying for next year's World Cup Finals.

The Real Madrid star was a doubt for the game, having had a back problem but has been given the all-clear to play.

Beckham has put in some inspired displays for Real Madrid of late and he believes he is ready to do the same for England.

He said: "I feel like I am back to my best. The new manager at Real Madrid has got us working harder and our performances have been more convincing.

"I'm happy because my fitness is back up there. I'm back to the sort of energy I showed when I played my best game against Greece a few years ago.

"My passing is what it should be and so are my energy levels, and when the two are going well I can perform."

But Beckham has urged his team-mates not to take a win over Lawrie Sanchez's side for granted.

He added: "We will have a similar approach to how we played against Wales. These days there are no easy games and it doesn't matter who we play, it will be tough.

"We have got to be confident that we can win the game, but we mustn't be complacent."
