The Barcelona trio of David Villa, Andres Iniesta and Xavi will relish a return to Wembley, the scene of Barcelona’s impressive Champions League triumph six months ago. Capello has promised to blood new players but he cannot afford to risk too many changes against the World Cup-winners.

Their last meeting was a thrilling 2-2 draw in the 2006 World Cup in Germany but much has changed since then, and Fabio Capello will be well aware of the importance of a morale-boosting performance tonight. Commentary by Peter Drury and Andy Townsend.
