4) Daniel Sturridge v Daniel Agger
In what’s likely to be the highest profile individual battle this evening, club teammates Sturridge and Agger will come up against each other at Wembley this evening…
Liverpool’s Danish vice-captain has already spoken of his joy that youngster Raheem Sterling has been called up to Roy Hodgson’s squad, but will no doubt be keen to get the better of the other in-form Liverpool paceman this evening. Sturridge has bagged 18 in just 17 Premier League starts this term, but is in the fledgling stages of his international career.
In complete reversal, Agger is an international veteran, captaining Denmark; but has endured a miserable term at club level this season.
Whether the Dane can deal with the pace of Sturridge is interesting, as hardly defenders have managed to in recent months.
