Man Utd's Rooney and Villa's Bent to lead England attack as Jones makes debut

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney will be deployed in a role just behind Aston Villa striker Darren Bent for tonight's England versus Montenegro clash.

The Three Lions take on the Montenegrins in Podgorica needing just a point to assure Euro2012 qualifying and Rooney will be part of a four-man attack which includes United teammate Ashley Young on the left wing and Arsenal's Theo Walcott on the right whilst Bent will play in front of that trio as a centre forward.

As expected, Manchester City's Joe Hart will take the gloves behind a back four of Ashley Cole, John Terry, Gary Cahill and Phil Jones, who is making his full England debut, whilst Scott Parker and Gareth Barry make up the midfield for Fabio Capello.
