Chaouchi had a poor opening match against Slovenia, but manager Rabah Saadane will keep faith with the player if fit.

Returning for Algeria is Wolfsburg midfielder Karim Ziani, but definitely out is Abdelkader Ghezzal, who is suspended after being sent off in the opening match.

England boss Fabio Capello has recalled Portsmouth ‘keeper David James to the starting line-up after Robert Green’s error against USA cost England the win.

Capello’s starting XI will have a more familiar look about it, with Steven Gerrard starting out on the left and Aaron Lennon providing the width on the right.

Strikers Wayne Rooney and Emile Heskey will again start upfront for England.

ALGERIA BETTING TIPS

Having overcome Egypt in the play-offs to reach the 2010 World Cup Finals, Algeria will have to face England, USA and Slovenia in Group C.

Frankly, they are unlikely to get further than this. When your best known players are Nadir Belhadj and Madjid Bougherra, you’re unlikely to have a squad that can compete.

Unfortunately for them, Algeria just don’t have the quality to defeat teams like England or the USA. Their two top goalscorers are out of contract with their club sides mainly because, well, they aren’t capable of scoring goals at the top level.

While there is some talent in the squad, it isn’t of sufficient quality. Nadir Belhadj looks great going forward for Portsmouth, but he leaves too many gaps in behind. Imagine what Aaron Lennon will do to him when Algeria face England.

Unless you are a fervent Algerian supporter, I would keep your money in your wallet.
