England stars fighting for their places - Soca Warrior Carlos expects tough challenge from Capello's men

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


The match, which follows tomorrow's Wembley clash against the United States, 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 after breaking his leg but is fit to take his place in the Soca Warriors side.

The former Luton winger said: "It will be nice to face these guys on home soil. I have been playing in England for around eight or nine years 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."
