MATCH 11 PREVIEW : ENGLAND VS SWITZERLAND

'Nothing to lose'
"I'm sure England's players, and especially the English media, expect this game to be easier than France, but that's our chance," said Kuhn. "England can exert huge pressure, but if we resist in the first 15 minutes they may start to get anxious. We really have nothing to lose."

Win needed
England, having lost to France in added time on Sunday, still know that victory here will leave them needing only need a point from their final game against Croatia, assuming the Croatians succumb to France in Leiria later in the evening. Even a draw would give England a fighting chance, but realistically Sven-Göran Eriksson's team know they must get their first win on the board.

Scholes fit
They were boosted today when Paul Scholes, the pick of their midfield players against France, was deemed more or less certain to be fit following an ankle knock. "I'm almost sure, 100 per cent, that he will be fit for tomorrow," Eriksson said. "He did everything today, even shooting at the end, so he seems OK."

Terry returns
The only change to the team that faced France is likely to be the return to defence of Chelsea FC's John Terry in place of Ledley King, while Owen Hargreaves, Joe Cole and Kieron Dyer will be available to freshen things up in midfield should they be required, as will Darius Vassell up front.

England (probable): James; G Neville, Campbell, Terry, A Cole; Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes; Owen, Rooney.

Switzerland (probable): Stiel; Haas, Murat Yakin, Mueller, Spycher; Huggel,Celestini, Wicky; Hakan Yakin; Frei, Chapuisat.
