Man City's Barry expecting Premier League atmosphere tomorrow

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry believes tomorrow's match between England and Wales will be like a top Premier League showing.

The England international expects a sell-out at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for the Euro2012 qualifier and he welcomes the likely frenzied atmosphere.

"It's going to be a packed-out crowd and it will be similar to a Premier League game that the players are used to playing in week in week out," he said.

"The general sense in the group is we are looking forward to a big game, pretty much end to end.

"I think it sets it up for a bigger spectacle. I don't think it'll help us in any way. If anything it'll help them with a new manager there.

"They are outing all the pressure on us saying they are going into the game relaxed but they are desperate to win and I am sure there is pressure on them, too."
