The likes of Sunderland striker Darren Bent and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tom Huddlestone will be hoping they can make a big enough impact against the Japanese before Capello names his final 23 for the South Africa showpiece on June 1.
England were criticised for their performance against Mexico at Wembley on Monday, despite winning 3-1. And FourFourTwo's betting partner Paddy Power expect Capello's men to see off Japan more convincingly.
The Three Lions are 2/9 to triumph. However, if the main talking point after this game is England's defence, their price of 6/1 to lift the World Cup could drift.
2/9 England Win
4/1 Draw
17/2 Japan Win
