Steve McClaren is reportedly planning to drop Owen Hargreaves to the bench for England's Euro 2008 qualifier against Andorra in Barcleona.
McClaren has apparently opted to not only stick with the misfiring Frank Lampard but to reunite him with Steven Gerrard in the centre of midfield in the hope that they will finally gel against the minnows.
Hargreaves is therefore set to drop to the bench despite being one of England's better performers against Israel on Saturday night, just six weeks after McClaren described him as "indispensable".
Stewart Downing looks likely to be handed the left-wing berth, with Aaron Lennon switching to his more natural right side.
There will also be changes at full-back, with Ashley Cole and Micah Richards expected to come in for Jamie Carragher and Phil Neville, while Jermain Defoe is expected to replace Andy Johnson alongside Wayne Rooney.
