England boss Capello ready to start with Tottenham's Lennon

Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is set to win an England start for tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Croatia.

The Daily Mail says Fabio Capello plans to unleash Lennon at Wembley and attack Croatia with raw pace, just as he did in Zagreb last year when Theo Walcott's hat-trick gave England a 4-1 win and put them in control of Group 6.

Shaun Wright-Phillips was given a chance to start on the right in place of the injured Walcott against Slovenia on Saturday but failed to impress.

In contrast, Lennon continued his sparkling club form when he replaced Wright-Phillips at half-time to win his 12th cap.
