England have already sealed qualification for the finals in South Africa next summer and Capello could have used the match to assess the form of fringe players or experiment with the side's formation. Instead, though, the Italian intends to treat the match exactly the same as the previous eight.

"For me this is not a friendly game. It is one of the games for World Cup qualifying and it will be very important," said Capello

"I have spoken with the players and said that we have to play this like the other games we have played.

"For the result I will choose the best first XI. I always decide on the players to win the game and Saturday will be the same."

Rio Ferdinand is back in the squad after missing the last few England get togethers with back and thigh injuries and Capello is delighted to have him back.

"I'm happy for Rio because at the start of the season he has had some problems. I spoke with him and he is okay, fit to play.

"I think a player like Rio is always good."
