Edwards' home joy

Sunderland midfielder Carlos Edwards is expecting England to go all out when they meet Trinidad & Tobago in Sunday's friendly in the Caribbean.


The match, which takes place in the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port Of Spain, will be Fabio Capello's fourth in charge of England as they build up to the autumn World Cup qualifiers.

Edwards missed most of Sunderland's Barclays Premier League campaign through injury after an impressive start to the season, but is now fit to take his place in the Soca Warriors side for this game.

"It will be nice to face these guys on home soil," admitted the former Luton Town and Wrexham winger. 

"I have been playing in England for around eight or nine years now, so having
them here to play against us is going to be massive.

"I will have no choice but to up my game a notch and hopefully we can get a
positive result.

"I know England definitely will be coming here to put on a good show because those guys are playing for a pick for their World Cup qualifiers.

"This game has a lot of interest in it. It's not just for the team, but for the
country as a whole.''
