Shaun Wright-Phillips and Adam Johnson pressed their World Cup claims by combining to earn Manchester City a point with a 1-1 draw against West Ham.
England assistant coaches Franco Baldini and Ray Clemence were in the stands to run their eye over six potential summer stars ahead of Tuesday's 30-man provisional squad announcement.
Wright-Phillips' far-post header from Johnson's cross drew City level after Luis Boa Morte had put West Ham ahead on his return to the side after a year on the treatment table.
Boa Morte, making his first West Ham start since the final game of last season, opened the scoring against the run of play after 17 minutes. Alessandro Diamanti's crafty backheel sent the Portuguese winger through on goal and he clipped the ball over advancing City goalkeeper Marton Fulop.
But City hit back within three minutes with a far-post header from Wright-Phillips after Johnson had dug out a right-wing cross.
Johnson drew strong penalty shouts from after cutting dangerously into the box but referee Howard Webb was convinced Matthew Upson had got a toe to the ball.
Diamanti worked space for himself outside the City box after a driving run from Ilan and drilled a low shot which just clipped the outside of Fulop's right hand post. Johnson then teed up Emmanuel Adebayor who forced Robert Green into a smart reaction save.
Diamanti tried an acrobatic strike before Scott Parker forced the ball to Ilan, who found himself clean through but Fulop was quickly off his line to block the shot.
Roque Santa Cruz rifled a shot over before Pablo Zabaleta's dangerous run into the box was also blocked.
Carlos Tevez received a standing ovation from the West Ham supporters when he came on for Santa Cruz with 17 minutes remaining, and the Argentina striker almost marked his return with a goal but his cute attempt to lift the ball over Green went over.
