Jermain Defoe will start England's crucial World Cup match against Slovenia this afternoon.
After coming on as substitute against Algeria, 'JD' gets his chance and partners Wayne Rooney up front in Port Elizabeth.
Our top-scorer last season, JD comes in for Emile Heskey.
Unfortunately, Aaron Lennon loses his place with James Milner starting on the right. As expected, Matthew Upson replaces suspended Jamie Carragher, so Michael Dawson remains on the bench.
In arguably their most important match since the last World Cup, England need to beat Slovenia to guarantee a place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
The match kicks-off at 3pm.
