The Premier League campaign is shifting into high gear so you can expect the younger players jockeying for first team positions to be the ones throwing themselves into challenges as Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard will likely be trying to not pick up an injury and to maybe notch a strike for the highlight reels. 

Brazil come into the game as the away favourites by a fairly considerable margin. They are trading at an 11/8 price tag with most major bookmakers and they will be looking to grab an early goal to put England on the back foot - where they tend to be weakest. 

England can be backed at an 11/5 listing and that’s not bad odds for Three Lions fans, who generally don’t get to back their side at a price that high. The really competitive option is likely to be the draw, which can be had at a straight 2/1 price. 

William Hill are offering up a double on Wayne Rooney to score and England to win at a 5/1 price while Steven Gerrard to score and England to win can be backed at 12/1 - that could be easy money as he’ll be likely to take any penalties. 

It’s worth mentioning that Ashley Cole will be receiving his 100th England cap and is expected to start the game. He’s a 12/1 shout to grab a goal at any point in the game - and he just might want to make this one memorable. 

For Brazil, they will be turning to the tandem of Neymar and Luis Fabiano, who can be backed at 6/5 and 6/4, respectively, for an anytime goal. 

It’s also worth mentioning that the shortest priced correct score margin is a 1-1 draw, trading at 6/1.
