The Italian will begin his final scouting mission at Bolton v Tottenham today as he prepares to name his squad for matches in Ukraine, next Saturday, and at home to Belarus four days later.

After watching Wanderers centre-back Gary Cahill for the second successive weekend he will then make the short trip to Old Trafford to cast an eye over the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney as Manchester United host Sunderland.

On Sunday there will be stops at Arsenal v Blackburn and Chelsea v Liverpool before Capello finishes off with Manchester City's visit to Aston Villa on Monday night.

By then it is likely Capello will have finalised his selection, which is not expected to deviate much from the party which has contributed to a 100% record in qualifying so far.

The England coach does have the option of resting some of his regular big-name stars but with a tricky tie in Ukraine, who are still actively involved in the qualification process, that seems unlikely - much to the disagreement of a number of Premier League managers.

Changes, when they do come, are likely to be against Belarus at Wembley when Cahill is expected to be handed his debut after twice being called into the squad but never used.

The 23-year-old centre-back is ready for the call, when it comes.

"I definitely think I can play for England one day. I think you've got to be positive, got to be confident in your own ability," said the former Aston Villa defender.

"I'm hungry to get there. I work hard and hopefully I'll get there in the end.

"I think I'm improving game by game with my positional play, I know the role at centre-back a lot better than when I first came into it.

"I'm making fewer mistakes. I've still got a lot to learn, I'm only a young lad, and if I can keep learning hopefully I can go on to bigger and better things."

Cahill's inclusion could come at the expense of Manchester United's Wes Brown, who has made just two Premier League starts this season, or Matthew Upson, who has missed West Ham's last two matches with a calf strain.

Other players looking to catch Capello's eye this weekend are the likes of Spurs midfielder Tom Huddlestone, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott - fit again after a side strain - and Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.

If the England boss deems Walcott, who has not played this season, fit enough to compete that could put Manchester City's Shaun Wright-Phillips' place under threat.

Striker Peter Crouch, who netted a Carling Cup hat-trick on a rare start for Tottenham at Preston last month, will hope to retain his place so Agbonlahor may be waiting on withdrawals after the Ukraine match to get his chance.

However, Portsmouth goalkeeper David James is almost certain to be recalled after injury forced him out of the last squad.
