Listen - Arsenal - Wenger backs England!

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking at the launch of the Castrol Performance Index, says it's a huge plus for football to see England on the brink of qualification for Euro 2008 after a week which perhaps should have seen them out of the competition and planning ahead to the 2010 World Cup.

But the Gunners' boss says despite a tough match up against Croatia, he expects England to seal qualification for the tournament next summer in Austria & Switzerland.

Castrol is an official sponsor of Euro 2008
