Gerrard's been in fantastic form recently, his link-up with Torres has been the main reason for Liverpool's recent revival...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gerrard playing just off Rooney.

I don't think that France team is likely to be put out.

I'd expect Gallas at CB with Clerc at RB, no Thuram, and probably Abidal ahead of Evra.

I don't think Trezeguet will start either, he only got called up because Benzema pulled out, & I don't think Ben Arfa will start either. I reckon they might go 4-3-3/4-5-1 to pack the midfield a bit more, Makelele v probably 3 CMs doesn't seem smart.

Anyway back to England, Rio has been confirmed as captain! Great news, he deserves it, he's been brilliant this season and with all the controversy around refs atm he's certainly less in the middle of it than Terry...
