Everton boss David Moyes rates Phil Jagielka the best centre-half England has.
Moyes will give his central defender a chance to make England's Euro 2012 squad by giving him the task of stopping in-form Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse at Goodison Park.
"Phil Jagielka is suited for England because of what he can offer," he said. "He's quick over the ground and he's not as straight up and down as Cahill or Terry, or Ferdinand to a certain extent."
