Euro 2016 qualifiers: England and Rooney ready for Switzerland test

As England, odds-on 3/4 match favourites with Coral, prepare to welcome Switzerland to Wembley, there should be no trace of complacency around the capital. Three points in front of home fans will cement top spot in Euro 2016 qualifying Group E, making this clash crucial.

Roy Hodgson may have guided his Three Lions to a guaranteed place in the Euro 2016 finals, becoming the first side to do so apart from hosts France, after a ferocious display against amateurs San Marino, but the victory must be put into context.

The Swiss should be a much tougher test and a chance for fledglings to flex their muscles proper, with coach Hodgson stating early qualification might “give…the opportunity for experimentation”.

Manchester United midfield conductor Michael Carrick has been ruled out with injury, meaning Fabian Delph, substitute against San Marino and a Hodgson regular, should start as dictator from deep.

While skipper Wayne Rooney looked ruffled to be replaced last time out, having equalled Sir Bobby Charlton’s England all-time top scorer haul and looking a great shout of smashing it against the minnows, he now has the chance to be a record-breaker at Wembley.

The stage is set, and Rooney is 10/3 to hit his 50th for the Three Lions first, or 7/2 to surpass Charlton in style by bagging a brace or better.

Lucky Coral customers can also take advantage of some excellent match specials, with England to win by 3 or more goals available at 13/2, or Rooney to score and England to win at a fantastic 5/2 (punters please note the maximum stake for these specials is £20).
