England will be taking on San Marino, probably the weakest team not only in their World Cup Qualification group but also in Europe if we take a look at the all teams Europe has to offer. England will be going into this match as mighty favourites and they should get all three points in this match and get on top of the tabe. England have played 2 games so far in the group and they won 1 and drew the other and that makes 4 points out of possible 6.
If they can get all three points in this match and than get another win after a week against Poland in Warsaw they will surely put temselv in a prime position to qualify for the World Cup. So It will be interesting to see with what kind of team Roy Hodgson comes up with and surely we have some great games on the day to look forward too.

San Marino on the other hand have this big incentive to go to United Kingdom and play in one of the great football stadiums in the world at Wembley London and that should give their players extra motivation. They have played 1 game so far in the group and they lost that one by 6 goals and that was in their own backyard so that puts the game in firmly England's hands.
England have their star player back in the name of Wayne Rooney while Gerrard might be missing and Defoe is expected to start with Rooney up front. Rio Ferdinend have not been called up for the England squad.
ENGLAND EXPECTED LINEUP:
Hart, Walker, Jagielka, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Carrick, Lampard, Chamberlain, Rooney, Defoe
SAN MARINO EXPECTED LINEUP:
A Simoncini, F Vitaoli, D Simoncini, Della Valle, Brolli, Matteo, Cervellini, Gasperoni, Marani, M Vitaoli, Rinaldi
