England vs Spain live watch stream
England manager Fabio Capello's main decision is whether to field controversy-hit captain John Terry. The Italian has indicated that the skipper will miss out with a view to testing his other, less experienced centre-backs against the world's best. Phil Jagielka was expected to start but is now an injury doubt with a hairline fracture to his toe, which could give a chance to Gary Cahill and Joleon Lescott. Tottenham's Kyle Walker is in line to become the latest debutant at right-back after showing impressive club form.
Darren Bent is understood to have another chance to impress after scoring four in his last five outings, with likely stand-in captain Frank Lampard set to play behind him in the role vacated by the omitted Wayne Rooney.
For the world champions, a full-strength side is expected ahead of the big names being rested in Tuesday's game against Costa Rica. David Silva's exceptional form for Manchester City has made him a certainty to start while Valencia's Jordi Alba is likely to be preferred to Nacho Monreal at left-back. Silva aside, the small Premier League contingent will start on the bench, with the likes of Juan Mata and Fernando Torres a good bet to come on later in the game to exploit their greater familiarity with the English defence.
