England manager Roy Hodgson is considering starting with Theo Walcott as he goes in search of the point against Ukraine that would ensure a place in Euro 2012's last eight.

Hodgson has two big selection issues to finalise for England's meeting with the co-hosts who need a win to reach the quarter-finals in Donetsk on Tuesday.
He must choose between Walcott or fellow midfielder James Milner.


Wayne Rooney will start alongside Welbeck or Carroll depending on squad selection.

Meanwhile, Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko is a doubt, rated only 50-50 to start the fixture.
Shevchenko, 35, is struggling with a left knee problem.

My Predictions

3-1 (Rooney, Theo, Gerrard)

Formation

Hart
Johnson Terry Lescott Cole
T.Walcott, Gerrard, Parker, Young
Rooney Welbeck

Any matchday predictions/banter please post here.​

Agree with your team prediction, score however I can see the score being a little tighter.

2-1 england (rooney x2). I have a feeling we will score early too, first 10 mins.

ROLL ON PUB O CLOCK!!

There is a lot of possession football. I should imagine some on here are lapping it up.

Keeper is terrible, he cocked one up earlier as well.

Think Terry just earned his place at the Euros, great clearance.

Clearly not over the line

It was about as close as Lampard's goal vs Germany, so according to the ref and lino no where near

Ukraine player was offside in the build up to the clearance anyway.

The ball was over the line but there was an offside in the build up, so not a goal.

I don't think I can take another 90 mins of relentless pressure from the opposition on Sunday.
