The FA Cup fifth round has been scheduled for later in the same week, including the match between Arsenal and Manchester United. However, Farina said: "I still think England will pick their best squad. "They may make a lot of subs like they did against Portugal - you can rest assured that the clubs will put pressure on Sven-Goran Eriksson not to pick them or not to play them for too long. "I am due to ring Eriksson about the substitutions. Our line is to treat it like any other international, and we won't be making a big number of substitutions. "As to what England decide to do, if I had to have a guess at the moment with all the pressure put on Eriksson he may go down the same line as he did against Portugal." Farina has named Leeds forwards Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka in his 18-man squad. Kewell has been tipped to take over the captaincy from Leeds team-mate Paul Okon, but Farina elected not to name a skipper. Manchester City defender Danny Tiatto was not included because of doubts over his fitness as he recovers from injury. Vince Grella, Lucas Neill and Scott Chipperfield were added to the squad that was unsuccessful in the World Cup qualifying play-off against Uruguay in November 2001. Australia squad v England (Upton Park, 12 Feb): John Aloisi (Osasuna), Marco Bresciano (Parma), Scott Chipperfield (FC Basle), Brett Emerton (Feyenoord), Vince Grella (Empoli), Zeljko Kalac (Perugia), Harry Kewell (Leeds United), Stan Lazaridis (Birmingham City), Craig Moore (Rangers), Kevin Muscat (Rangers), Lucas Neill (Blackburn Rovers), Paul Okon (Leeds United), Tony Popovic (Crystal Palace), Mark Schwarzer (Middlesbrough), Josip Skoko (Racing Genk), Mile Sterjovski (Lille), Tony Vidmar (Middlesbrough), Mark Viduka (Leeds United). |
