Mark vs. Montenegro

Mark Noble is in the starting line-up for Friday evening's England U21-game against Montenegro, the opening match for their UEFA Euro 2009 Championship qualifying campaign.
The match is being played at the City Stadium in Podgorica and kicks off at 20.45 (MEZ).
The squad is going to be differnt from the one that reached the U21-semi-finals against Holland in the summer.
Mark N0ble said (according to the West Ham Official Website):
"It's been a very good week training with the new lads that have come in, everyone has got to know each other and getting on well.
"It's a sell-out for this evening's match so we are expecting a tough game in front of a fired-up crowd. We have been to the stadium this morning and the pitches are not the best for the sort of game we play but we know what to expect now and are focused on getting this campaign off to a good start."
