Interesting squad to say the least - a little light on strikers. Especially as Owen and Rooney aren't fit. Walcott hasn't even played a Premiership game for Arsenal, so it would be a big ask to perform on the World Cup Stage. That only leaves the dreaded Peter Crouch so we may see Christmas a little early this year, at least in the qualifiers.

Defence and midfield look strong as expected. Campbell is a surprise inclusion given his form since his return to the Arsenal line-up. Sven must be hoping his experience can see him through.

You've got to ask a few question about the state of English goal-keeping if Robert Green is your third choice keeper. We used to have decent English keepers at every club - what's happened? Dodgy foreign imports to blame?
