England will look to secure their place at the World Cup when they take on Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday night.
Fabio Capello’s side currently have a perfect record in World Cup Qualification with seven wins from seven and another victory over Croatia would guarantee the Three Lions’ presence in South Africa next summer.
However, Croatia are currently ranked ninth in the FIFA World Rankings (England are seventh) and England fans will be right to be wary after Croatia denied them a place at Euro 2008 when they won at Wembley two years ago.
This is the second consecutive qualifying section the two countries have been drawn in and the match at Wembley will be the seventh meeting overall.
England currently hold the historical edge with three wins to Croatia’s two, but the Croats have won two of the last three, including home and away wins over Steve McClaren’s England in Euro 2008 qualifying.
