Sven-Goran Eriksson's team confirmed for Poland

England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has made four changes to his team to play against Poland.

Shaun Wright-Phillips replaces the suspended David Beckham on the right wing and Ledley King will play instead of the injured Steven Gerrard.

Sol Campbell is also injured, so Rio Ferdinand will be reclaiming his place in the central defence with Wayne Rooney partnering Michael Owen up front.

Michael Owen will be leading the side in the final World Cup qualifying game.

England are already qualified but they still will be bidding to finish top of their group if they can beat Poland at Old Trafford.

A good result could affect their seeding at the World Cup. However, it remains unclear as to whether the game has anything riding on it, with Fifa not planning a decision until December on whether qualification results will be used to determine seedings.
