The match in Basel is the highest profile and most difficult fixture that Hodgson’s team will play in qualifying. And, after England’s dire showing in their mid-week friendly victory against Norway , the pressure is on the manager and squad alike to put in a strong showing on Monday night and exhibit signs of progression after the disappointment of the World Cup.
The rest of the group will be a procession for both the Swiss and England – they are battling it out for first and second spot.
Switzerland vs England Match Preview
In spite of the victory during the week against Norway ending England’s five-game winless run, the squad has come under intense media and fan criticism for their toothless attacking and lack of creativity in the final third of the opposition half – something against which Roy Hodgson and the players reacted strongly.
Nevertheless, both manager and captain, Wayne Rooney, have publically recognized the need to improve their performance levels if they are yield any kind of positive result from the most challenging fixture that they will face in qualifying.
Hodgson suffered a blow when striker, Daniel Sturridge, was ruled out with a thigh problem on Friday; Jack Colback and Ben Foster will also play no part due to injury. In this light, England are expected to line up as follows: Hart; Jones, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Wilshire, Sterling; Rooney, Welbeck.
Former Lazio coach, Petkovic, has been charged with the task of building on the good work done by his German predecessor, Hitzfeld, and will be eager to heap more misery on Hodgson – who guided Switzerland to the World Cup in 1994. Petkovic has recalled midfielder duo Pajtim Kasami and Fabian Frei, who both missed out a place in Switzerland’s World Cup squad, while Augsburg goalkeeper Marwin Hitz, Benfica defender Loris Benito and Udinese defender Silvan Widmer received their first calls-up.
One can expect the Swiss to line up as follows: Sommer; Djourou, Lichtsteiner, Schar, Rodriguez; Shaqiri, Behrami, Inler, Mehmedi; Xhaka, Drmic.
