Having made a stuttering start to their qualifying campaign, Steve McClaren's side simply cannot afford to drop points against opponents languishing near the bottom of the Group E table.
The build up for this vital must win game has been dominated over the last few days by McClaren's decision to recall David Beckham to the squad. Although he has been in good form for Real Madrid recently, many people are unconvinced that Beckham can still make an impact on the international stage.
After the dismal performance against Israel and England's laboured victory against Andorra in their last competitive outing, the players will be desperate to please their travelling fans with a positive performance.
