Man Utd's Cleverley handed England start with Oxlade-Chamberlain in line-up

Tom Cleverley will make his competitive debut for England when they take on Moldova tonight.

The Manchester United midfielder started in the 2-1 friendly win over Italy in August and did enough to retain his place in Roy Hodgson's starting eleven for their opening 2014 World Cup qualifier in Chisinau.

Cleverley is joined in the team by goalkeeper Joe Hart, defenders Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, John Terry and Leighton Baines, fellow midfielders Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, James Milner and Alex Oxlde-Chamberlain whilst Jermain Defoe will play a lone role up front.
