International Friendly Preview: England v Denmark

The clash at Wembley Stadium shapes as an opportunity for several England players to stake their claims for spots on the plane to Brazil. With just three and half months left until the competition, Roy Hodgson needs to make his final decisions on whom to keep in his team. For this, Hodgson has the chance to experiment with a large squad for the friendly with Denmark.

England will be short of defenders as Phil Jagielka, Kyle Walker and Phil Jones are all unavailable. So, instead of picking young Luke Shaw, Hodgson is likely to partner Smalling and Cahill at centre-back with Baines slotting in at left-back. England’s youngsters Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling and Luke Shaw will hope for some gametime as they will be looking to impress Roy Hodgson.

These sides have met 4 times in the past and both teams have won twice each. In their last meeting England edged Denmark, beating them by 2-1.

Possible England Starting Line-up v Denmark:

GK Hart; LB Baines, CB Cahill, CB Smalling, RB Johnson; CM Gerrard, CM Wilshere; RM Lallana, CAM Rooney, LM Oxlade-Chamberlain; ST Sturridge

Matt Le Tissier's Prediction: England win 2-0

England hand Luke Shaw first senior call-up for Denmark Friendly as 4 Saints players make the cut

Luke Shaw has won a first England call-up for next week's friendly against Denmark at Wembley, marking a tremendously proud day for sport along the south-coast, with the inclusion of 4 Southampton FC players in the national selection for next week's friendly against Denmark at Wembley Stadium.

The Southampton left-back is the only uncapped player in an enlarged 30-man squad - the last before Roy Hodgson names his provisional World Cup party in mid-May.

Teenager Shaw is one of three left-backs named, along with Leighton Baines and Ashley Cole, and will join up along with Southampton team-mates Adam Lallana, Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert who have all impressed Roy Hodgson respectively so far this season. 

England squad to face Denmark next week:

Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Celtic), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City), John Ruddy (Norwich City).

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Cardiff City), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur).

Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal).

Forwards: Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC), Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Jay Rodriguez (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Daniel Welbeck (Manchester United).     

                                               

Steve Phillips Mob 07415888851 Financial Adviser - Resigns from Bank to contribute more of his time to Matt Le Tissier Natural Coaching "Family"

Matt Le Tissier Natural Coaching are set to benefit from Steve Phillips Mob 07415888851 Financial Adviser increasing his commitment to support the future growth of the "MLT Natural Coaching Family"

Matt Le Tissier and Steve were destined to be lifelong friends, long before they were even thought of, as their mum's Ruth Blondel and Jeannette Le Long went to school together in Guernsey, from the age of 5. Their friendship blossomed and whilst Steve's mum, Jeannette (who sadly passed away in June 2009) moved away from Guernsey, marrying in 1966 and setting up a family home in Eastleigh, where Steve and his brother Darren grew up.

Ruth stayed on the Island of Guernsey, married Marcus and Matt was the youngest of 4 brothers and so the "Family" began.

Steve remembers fantastic, family summer holidays in Guernsey with his relations and of course the "Le Tissier Family", spending as much time with a young, unknown Matt, who in Steve's eyes has never changed with fame. "I remember my childhood Guernsey Summer Holidays, as if they were yesterday,,,,, Tissers was great at any sport on the beach, football, cricket, tennis,,,, not so clever at swimming though", he smiles.

Steve believes that being part of a fantastic "Family" is fundamental to your success and supported Matt in his footballing career and Steve, as he joined and pursued a longstanding career with the Bank. "I know Matt and I wanted to make our parents proud of our achievements as we set out in our respective career paths", said Steve.    

Since 1991, Steve, who is QCF Level 4 Qualified, has provided Financial Advice. He shocked Matt when he announced just recently that he had resigned after 26 years of service in the Bank. Steve made a truly tough decision to resign from his role, as his vision didn't match that of the Bank and he thought it was the right time to start a new chapter in his career and life.

Steve is a Financial Adviser and he will look to utilise his interpersonal skills and professionalism to guide the MLT Natural Coaching "Family", personally communicating with our MLTNC Coaches, Players, Parents, Clubs and Schools, as we are keen to become more involved within the local community.

Matt Le Tissier Natural Coaching "Family Values" are core to everything we are involved with and fundamental to our future success. Matt and his Team are delighted with feedback we're getting from players, parents and schools, which makes us feel privileged to be making such a positive impact in the local community, as we grow our "Family".

Please feel free to contact Steve Phillips - 07415888851.
