Ukraine vs England - 5 Key Battles

2. Yarmolenko vs Frank Lampard

All eyes will be on Centurion Frank Lampard tonight as the England veteran makes his 100th appearance against the Ukraine. Three Lions' boss Roy Hodgson is probably going to pack his midfield and play five in the middle of the park, protecting a four-man defence with Rickie Lambert operating as the sole striker. And this means it will be up to the likes of Lampard to dictate play and circumvent Ukraine's attack by keeping hold of the ball. The Chelsea man was the hero of the hour a year ago when he dispatched a crucial penalty against tonight's opposition at Wembley Stadium to rescue a 1-1 draw in the final minutes. And England fans will be hoping he has a happier time of things than Yarmolenko et al.
