Swansea midfielder Leon Britton is looking to put in a solid performance against England's 100-capped Steven Gerrard to boost his own international chances.

Britton has been mentioned as a possible England call-up given his impressive form in a Swansea side continuing to produce attractive football under Michael Laudrup.
While he would be thrilled to represent his country, he will put thoughts of impressing Hodgson to the back of his mind.
"Has he got Sky? I don't know," said Britton. "I'm concentrating on playing well for Swansea and keeping my place in the team. Maybe I'll send him a DVD if I play all right.
"It would mean everything to play for England, it would be a dream come true.
"As a kid growing up you dream about it, you play out on the street and you're playing for England. If you ever achieved that dream it would be incredible.
"If you had one (cap) you'd want more, but if it had to be one you wouldn't find a happier man on the planet."
