Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey will keep his England place for tomorrow's World Cup qualifier with Croatia.

The Sun says Heskey will keep his England place against Croatia because Jermain Defoe is just too good as sub!

Three Lions boss Fabio Capello will stick with Heskey despite the Villa striker's miserable scoring rate of one goal every eight games at international level.

Capello's view is that his team are doing so well that he does not need to make changes.

And he feels Tottenham striker Defoe is more effective coming on than as a starter.
