You Bet Capello Will Stick To Winning Formula

Other contenders in the frame to be England’s number two are Scott Carson at 3/1, Scott Loach at 9/2 and Paul Robinson at 14/1.

He is 1/2 to mention the U21 European Championships, a topic that has caused much consternation for Arsene Wenger, and Capello is 6/4 to make mention of the Arsenal boss.
