Has the squad been announced yet? And its on the 12th, right?

No there will be no squad announcement until afew days before the game...

According to the FA website they will have 'exclusive' announcement of the squad on Feb 8. Likely following that day's matches.

Oh. I guess I'm used to the U.S. team who usually announces it at least 10 days before a game.

What players in particular are any of you interested in seeing?

I want to see players like Beattie ,rooney ,jenas ,etc...

Sven will leave the squad selection as late as possible to ensure that there aren't loads of squad withdrawls through "mystery" injuries..
If sven named a team I think you would find that a load of those players would mysteriously get injured after the weekends games...

I want to see Russel Hoult, but as he plays for Albion it's very unlikely.

I'd like to see our best 11 for at least a half but that won't happen (Robinson, G Neville, Rio, Ashley Cole, Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes, Dyer, Owen, Beattie/Smith/Heskey)

Other players: Hargreaves, Joe Cole, Jenas, Wes Brown, Woodgate.

Ideally no more than 5 substitutions. So just pick from above, ok Sven.

Graeme Le saux to get back the place he should never have lost

He's not even playing there (left back) anymore for his club.
I wouldn't mind LeSaux having a shot at the left side midfield role (where it seems he plays now for Chelsea) but I think Cole is better at the back.

The Sun is reporting that Wayne Rooney is going to be named in the squad and that he will play in the game.

Not the most reliable source but if it's true he will be youngest ever England international.
