Keep an eye on
England: Danny Welbeck - The former Manchester United forward have impressed in Arsenal and is the main striker on the England team. The goals are expected to come from his feet in this match.
Slovenia: Jasmin Kurtic - Kurtic is the playmaker on the Slovenia team and the Fiorentina midfielder can cause problems for Jagielka and Cahill.
What to expect from this match?
England have played well so far in the qualification and should win at home against Slovenia. However, the Slovenes are not to be underestimated. Their squad contains players from top leagues in Europe and even though their starting line-up looks less impressive than the English they can cause problems. There is no doubt that this is a battle between the two qualifiers of Group E. The fact that Slovenia is three points behind England just makes the pressure on England even harder. I expect a well played match with great attacking football from both sides.
What are the odds?
England: 1/3 (StanJames)
Draw: 4 (SkyBet)
Slovenia: 11 (Ladbrokes)
