Frank Lampard's penalty (31) and a deflected strike from Jermain Defoe (63) establishing their lead before Zlatan Ljubijankič (85) headed Matjaž Kek's side back into contention. • Defoe (23) scored the only goal when the sides met in more significant circumstances – their final 2010 FIFA World Cup group stage game in Port Elizabeth. Victory took Capello's England to the knockout stage at the expense of Kek's Slovenia. • The teams for that match on 23 June 2010 were: Slovenia: Handanovič, Brečko, Šuler, Cesar, Jokić, Koren, Radosavljević, Birsa, Kirm (Matavž 79), Ljubijankič (Dedić 62), Novaković. England: James, Johnson, Upson, Terry, A Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Milner, Defoe (Heskey 86), Rooney (J Cole 72). • In nine matches against Slovenia in UEFA age-group competitions, England's record is W7 D1 L1; the nations' Under-19 sides drew 1-1 in the most recent of those fixtures, at a UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying mini-tournament in Slovenia. • The 11 meetings between English and Slovenian clubs in UEFA competition have been dominated by the Premier League teams: W7 D3 L1. That lone Slovenian success came when NK Maribor beat Wigan Athletic FC 2-1 at home in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage. • The Purples also managed a draw against Chelsea FC in the most recent fixture between club sides from these countries, in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage on 5 November, although the Blues had recorded a convincing 6-0 home victory the previous matchday. 3 England - Slovenia Saturday 15 November 2014 - 18.00CET (17.00 local time) Match press kit Wembley Stadium, London Squad list England Current season Overall Qual.

He guided the Swedish club to their first-ever Allsvenskan titles in 1976 and 1979; then guided Malmö to top of the table for five years in a row, although the play-off system then used meant they were champions only twice in that time. • A period at Xamax followed before the first of four forays into international management. Hodgson's Switzerland qualified for the 1994 FIFA World Cup – their first in 28 years – and then EURO '96 but the coach departed for Inter before the latter tournament. • After taking the Nerazzurri to the 1997 UEFA Cup final, Hodgson had spells in England, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, the UAE, Norway and Finland, as well as a short stint back at Inter as technical director. • He returned to England and relegation-threatened Fulham in 2007/08, helping them to safety in his first term, a club- best seventh in the Premier League in his second and then the 2010 UEFA Europa League final. The 2-1 extra-time defeat by Club Atlético de Madrid proved his last game with the Cottagers, before he accepted the reins at Liverpool. • He left Anfield after 31 matches in charge, the shortest reign in Liverpool history, yet within five weeks was at West Brom, whom he steered to a then Premier League high of 11th. He was appointed England manager on 1 May 2012 and took them to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 World Cup, where they failed to get out of the group stage.
