Former Liverpool and England defender Mark Wright believes Michael Owen will lead by example when he captains the Three Lions against Paraguay tomorrow night.

"It's brilliant he has been made captain," said Wright.

"Michael's been around a long time and won a lot of things and while he's not very vocal he is certainly a figurehead for the game. I think the game being at Anfield probably helped the decision as well.

"He's a hard worker on the field, and he'll certainly lead by example."
