England vs austria - C'mon england!
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 8:28 pmEngland will qualify if they beat Austria and then overcome Poland on Wednesday.
They could even qualify on Saturday if they win and Holland beat the Czech Republic.
Skipper David Beckham and striker Michael Owen look set to start at Old Trafford after training on Thursday.
Beckham's arrival in Manchester was delayed while the Real Madrid player stayed in Spain with his ill son Romeo.
Owen had been a doubt after he missed the Premiership game with Portsmouth because of a dead leg.
Striker Peter Crouch is tipped to start alongside Owen in place of the suspended Wayne Rooney.
Eriksson is poised to revert to a 4-4-2 formation after his experiment with playing 4-5-1 backfired in Northern Ireland.
Earlier in the week Arsenal's Cole withdrew from the squad after suffering a stress fracture of his foot.
The last time Cole was unavailable - against Sweden in a friendly in March last year - Carragher played at left-back in a match that England lost 1-0.
Meanwhile Beckham is believed to have relinquished his penalty-taking role, handing the responsibility to Frank Lampard.
All Discussion Here please.
