Man Utd fullback Evra: England could do a Chelsea

Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra is wary of England 'doing a Chelsea' at the Euros.

France face England tonight in their Euros opener.

"I expect a strong, solid team that will come at us," said Evra. "They are not going to give us anything. There is a lot of talk about how many injuries they have and the fact that they have just had a new manager. But look at what happened with [Roberto] Di Matteo at Chelsea - he came in late in the season and won the Champions League. So that means nothing."

Evra added: "This is our most important match at Euro 2012. If we draw, the doubts start to set in. If we lose, we will already start to think we may be going home."
