By Mark Langdon 4:45PM 8 NOV 2012

LEON OSMAN is 5-1 with Ladbrokes to be in England’s World Cup party after he was named in Roy Hodgson’s squad to take on Sweden on Wednesday.

The Everton midfielder was a surprise inclusion and is 6-4 with Ladbrokes to start the match in Stockholm, while Steven Caulker is 11-10 to get the nod with Liverpool’s teenage ace Raheem Sterling rated at 5-4.

Jack Wilshere returns to Three Lions duty and is 6-5 with Hills to start and the same firm are offering 4-6 on at least two of Caulker, Sterling, Osman, Fraser Forster and Ryan Shawcross being involved from the start in the international friendly.

Arsenal full-back Carl Jenkinson, who played for Finland at youth level, will also be in the squad once he receives international clearance for Fifa, although he won’t count in the Hills debutants market.

England squad v Sweden - goalkeepers: Hart, Ruddy, Forster; defenders: Baines, Bertrand, Cahill, Caulker, Jagielka, Johnson, Shawcross, Walker; midfielders: Cleverley, Gerrard, Lennon, Osman, Shelvey, Sterling, Walcott, Wilshere, Young; forwards: Rooney, Sturridge, Welbeck.

Home Win	Draw	Away Win

Key stats

Bayern Munich have won 24 of their last 26 games in all competitions
Borussia Dortmund have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten matches

Expert verdict

Bayern Munich were pipped by Chelsea in last season's Champions League final but they can make amends against compatriots Borussia Dortmund this term. Bayern's form has been incredibly consistent throughout the season and their array of attacking talent could be too much for a Dortmund defence who wobbled against Malaga and Real Madrid.
