England will be one of the nine top seeds in Sunday's UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying draw in Poland, as attentions briefly turn away from the World Cup.

Fabio Capello will be in Warsaw as Europe's elite will all be hoping for a favourable draw with a place in the Finals in Poland and Ukraine in two years their ambition.

The Three Lions face Egypt at Wembley on 3 March in a World Cup warm-up match, but before hand they'll join European Champions Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Croatia, Portugal, France and Russia as top seeds in the Euro 2012 draw. It means England will also not be able to draw any of those seeded nations.

Nine groups will be drawn out, with 14 places in the Finals up for grabs, with the co-hosts already certain of a place. All groups will contain one side from the first five pots and six groups will also have a team from Pot 6.

The countries in each group will play one another on a home-and-away basis, with qualifiers scheduled between September 2010 and October 2011. The nine winners and the runner-up with the best record against the teams first, third, fourth and fifth in their pool qualify directly for the final tournament. The eight remaining runners-up contest play-off matches in November 2011.
