Jags and Baines set to start for England

England manager Fabio Capello has today confirmed that both Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka will be in his starting line up tomorrow.

England will face Ghana in a friendly at Wembley tomorrow night and Capello will make a number of changes, including bringing in Manchester City´s Gareth Barry as captain.

Speaking of the changes Capello said "Joe Hart will play in goal, we will have Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka at centre-back and Leighton Baines will play at left-back. Barry will be the captain and Carroll will play up front."

The game will provide the Everton pair with a big opportunity to impress the England manager against tough opposition. Jagielka will be winning his eighth cap after he came on as a substitute against Wales on Saturday. Baines meanwhile will be earning just his fourth cap.
