England have most of their top names available for the friendly and include Los Angeles-based David Beckham in their squad. John Terry will be looking to atone for his penalty miss against Manchester United in last week's Champions League final.

The Americans, in contrast, are unbeaten in 2008 under Bradley with the team on a five-match unbeaten run. Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy team-mate Landon Donovan is set to get his 100th cap on Wednesday when he would become the youngest American player to win a century of caps.

England will no doubt fully absorb next month their failure to qualify for the finals of Euro 2008 when the tournament gets under way. Their inability to make the finals prompted the dismissal of manager Steve McClaren and their form since Capello's introduction has been less than impressive.

The USA have a number of established British-based players including midfielders DaMarcus Beasley, of Rangers, Fulham's Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Tim Howard, who will be tasting European football next season with Everton.
