Capello set to upset top PL teams by picking full strength England side

Fabio Capello is set to pick a full-strength squad for the final two World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus - even though England have already reached the finals, reports The Sun. The word from the FA is that Capello wants to keep the momentum going after eight wins from eight group games.

The top clubs will be disappointed with the decision but Capello felt if he rested major players from one club, he would have to do it with all of them.

He also believes he should be true to the spirit of the competition by playing at full strength when qualifying spots are still up for grabs.
