Head coach Fabio Capello expects England to have to break down a defensive Andorra side in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier at Wembley.

England are expected to comfortably roll over the Group Six minnows and take another step towards qualifying for next summer's finals in South Africa.

But despite predictions of a easy victory, Capello has sounded a note of caution.

"I saw their game against Belarus (a 5-1 defeat on Saturday) and they played ten players just in front of the box, waiting, waiting and waiting. It won't be easy," he said.

"If we score quickly it'll be a very easy game, but I remember our first game in Barcelona. At half-time it was 0-0, but thankfully we won."

Meanwhile, Capello has hinted that veteran duo David Beckham and Gary Neville could be in line for starts.

Beckham could replace the suspended Gareth Barry in midfield, while Neville could step in should right-back Glen Johnson not be risked as he is just one yellow card away from a suspension.

Referring to Neville, who would equal the record the most capped full-back should he play, Capello said: "I've thought about this problem. I have to decide if some players with yellow cards will play tomorrow.

"Gary Neville is fit and is training like the other players."
