Sweden vs. England: Complete Preview, Live Stream, Start Time and Schedule

England will host Sweden at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday in an international friendly that will give an opportunity for two teams before they enter EuroCup 2012. 

England has not beaten Sweden on the pitch since 1968. 

While this is a friendly and technically means nothing, both teams will be looking to make an impression. 

England enters the game at No. 7 in the FIFA World Rankings, while Sweden is 14.

Where: Wembley Stadium. London, England

When: 3 p.m. EST

Watch: Fox Soccer Plus. Streamed at FoxSoccer.tv. Follow on ESPN Gamecast. 

Player to Watch for England

Forward Daniel Sturridge will be a big factor for England in the absence of Danny Welbeck. That's not an easy void to fill, but if he can adequately step in and replace Welbeck, look for a good day from England.

Player to Watch for Sweden

Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If he gets free and puts some shots on net, at least one is likely to find the back. 

England absolutely has to find a way to keep him in check. If they don't, the home fans will be leaving Wembley Stadium upset.

Key Matchup

Ibrahimovic against the England defense. Again, he'll make the difference in the game. If he's in check, England really has the advantage. Otherwise, look for Sweden to pull the upset.

What They're Saying

Between injuries and more personal issues revolving around their players, the English squad did not earn the optimism of the Associated Press. While bragging rights certainly matter, these friendlies are also a great chance to assess talent, which England is not going to be able to do as much.

England has a chance to assess the extent of any progress made since a woeful World Cup when it hosts European and world champions Spain tomorrow.

However, preparations for England's toughest test before next year's European Championship could hardly have been more disrupted.

Prediction: England 3, Sweden 2

While they certainly have their issues, I like England's team more in this one. At Wembley Stadium, look for them to pull this one out. 

They beat Spain over the weekend, and I like their chances of continuing that run of success.
