England coach Fabio Capello will stick with West Ham United's Robert Green as his goalkeeper.

The Times says Green is expected to make his fourth consecutive appearance for England against Slovenia on Saturday as Capello gives him another opportunity to stake a claim for next year's World Cup finals.

Green has been self-deprecating in the past about his lack of openings with the national team, even having the phrase "England's No6" sewn into his gloves. But, with concerns growing about Portsmouth keeper David James's prospects for next summer's tournament in South Africa, Green is emerging ahead of Manchester United's Ben Foster as the leading contender in Capello's mind.
