Gareth Bale is confident that Wales can cause an upset and beat England on Saturday.[LNB]Wales are bottom of Group G having lost their opening three matches of the campaign but the Tottenham winger, who has dazzled the Premier League with his performances this season, thinks Gary Speed and his team can win at the Millennium Stadium. [LNB]'We're quietly confident in the camp that we've got enough to pull off an upset,' said the 21-year-old, who has been mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by England manager Fabio Capello.

[LNB]'I've had a bit of banter with Jermain Defoe and  Michael Dawson back at Tottenham and it will be a great game on Saturday. I'm hoping Wales will come out on top. A lot of us haven't played against England for the full team. It will be a great occasion and one we all want to play in. [LNB]Regime: Bale has only just returned from an injury lay off, but is raring to go[LNB]'Now is the time we need to start delivering and there's no better way than to beat England.'[LNB]Bale is back with the Wales squad having missed the 3-0 defeat against the Republic of Ireland in the Nations Cup in February with a back injury and is joined by Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, who is returning from a cruciate injury. [LNB]'We're still young, we're still learning and we're both improving at our clubs and we want to keep doing that,' said Bale. 'With a full crowd in, it will give us that extra bit of confidence and belief. You've seen what it used to be like five or six years ago with all the fans there. [LNB]'I was one of the fans at the time and it was an electric atmosphere. All the fans were with the team. We want to be going out to that and feeling comfortable with everybody on our side. [LNB]'Hopefully we can turn the Millennium Stadium into a fortress and if we do that we've got a great chance of qualifying - maybe not this campaign, but definitely the next one.'[LNB] Wales v England dossier: It will be red hot in the Dragons' denLampard fears England axe as Capello considers advanced role for Wilshere Jack took my job!
