1906: ENGLAND v FRANCE

Chief football writer Phil McNulty reports: "England's sell-out friendly with France has been given an added layer of intrigue by the inclusion of young debutants Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson. Newcastle's striker has passed a fitness test on his groin injury and this game against Laurent Blanc's side will be a real measure of his development. France are in a similar process of rebuilding and recovery after their own disastrous World Cup campaign, but Blanc still has plenty of reserves of talent to call upon."

1901: It sounds, by the way, like Fabio Capello is going to deploy Phil Jagielka at right-back tonight, with Jordan Henderson and Gareth Barry sitting behind a three of James Miler, Steven Gerrard and Theo Walcott with Andy Carroll up front on his own. The confirmed teams when I get them.

That's a promising line up. Jagielka, Gibbs, Henderson, Milner, Carroll, Walcott should all have prolonged spells in the team for the next few years, and there's a bunch of others as well. Interesting to see the France teamsheet.
