Wayne Bridge is reunited with Ashley Cole down England's left after missing October's qualifiers against Wales and Azerbaijan through injury.

The switch back to 4-4-2 sees in-form strikers Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen paired up front, with the latter looking to extend his prolific scoring run on home turf.

At the back John Terry regains his place at the heart of England's defence with Sol Campbell out of the squad through injury.
