EnglandFabio Capello's England are guaranteed a warm Wembley welcome when they tackle Kazakhstan on Saturday in their World Cup qualifier.
Capello admitted before the clash with Croatia in Zagreb that the tension surrounding fixtures on home soil was affecting his players' confidence.
But after the Three Lions' thrilling 4-1 triumph against Slaven Bilic's side, the Wembley supporters will be in good heart and voice, which may enable England to play with a freedom which has so often been missing.
Back-to-back victories away to Andorra and Croatia have given England the perfect start to their Group 6 campaign and they will be expected to make it three in a row against Kazakhstan before travelling to Belarus next week.
Dutch coach Arno Pijpers was axed after defeats by Croatia and Ukraine followed their victory over whipping boys Andorra, with German Bernd Storck appointed in his place by the former Soviet state in a caretaker capacity.
Terry
Capello's main decision ahead of the match surrounds captain John Terry, with the Chelsea defender ruled out with a back injury.
That opens the door for Joleon Lescott or Matthew Upson to partner Rio Ferdinand at centre-back, while another option would be for Wes Brown to move across from right-back, with Glen Johnson employed in his place.
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is fit again after missing the opening two qualifiers as he underwent groin surgery and he is widely expected to return to Capello's midfield.
Successive England managers have seemed determined to shoe-horn Gerrard and Frank Lampard into their side, despite overwhelming evidence that for all their individual talents and respective club performances they do not play well together for their country.
Theo Walcott is certain to start after his hat-trick against Croatia, while Lampard and Gareth Barry formed an effective central partnership in Zagreb and deserve to keep their places, with Joe Cole's absence through injury leaving the left of midfield vacant.
Milestone
Gerrard is more than capable of playing on the left, but it is not a role he relishes and it vastly reduces his impact on the game. The in-form, but right-footed, Shaun Wright-Phillips is another option as is the left-footed Stewart Downing, although the Middlesbrough winger has so far struggled to convince at international level.
Strike duo Emile Heskey and Wayne Rooney will move a step closer to the milestone of 50 caps for their country, with Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe in reserve on the bench, and Michael Owen kicking his heels at home having been left out again.
Kazakhstan caretaker boss Storck will have to do without Farkhadbek Irismetov at Wembley as the defender is suspended after being booked in their last two matches.
Sergey Ostapenko is the visitors' leading scorer in their World Cup qualifying campaign, with three goals to his name from as many games, although two of those came against Andorra.
England's possible starting XI: James, Johnson, Ferdinand, Brown, A Cole, Lampard, Barry, Walcott, Gerrard, Rooney, Heskey.
ScotlandScotland will be chasing three points when they face Norway on Saturday to keep their hopes of World Cup qualification on track.
George Burley's side suffered an opening defeat against Macedonia before kick-starting their campaign with victory in Iceland four days later.
Struggle
But a loss against Norway at Hampden would leave them with an uphill struggle to make even a play-off spot, with only one guaranteed place in South Africa, and one probable play-off spot available.
Furthermore, a defeat could provide a fatal blow to their qualification aspirations to get to South Africa in 2010 as they will almost certainly need to finish above Norway in Group Nine.
Burley has been given a boost heading into the game with Scottish Football Association chief executive Gordon Smith showing his support by ensuring him that his job is safe regardless of the result on Saturday.
Captain
Darren Fletcher will captain the side with the Manchester United midfielder taking on the role in the absence of the injured Barry Ferguson and suspended Stephen McManus on his 40th international appearance.
McManus will sit out with a one-match ban whilst Kenny Miller and Kris Commons are also missing from the side with hamstring injuries.
Norway, meanwhile, will also be desperate for maximum points after a bad start to their campaign.
They were held to a 2-2 draw by Iceland in Oslo in their only qualifier so far.
Scotland and Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon is also wary of striker John Carew, who scored against him for Aston Villa last month, and sees him as a major threat.
WalesWales boss John Toshack welcomes back captain Craig Bellamy for Saturday's World Cup qualifier versus Liechtenstein - in a game that can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 and HD 1.
The Dragons got their road to South Africa off to a winning start last month with success over Azerbaijan, but they fell to defeat in their second fixture in Russia.
Liechtenstein, meanwhile, suffered a heavy 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Germany before battling for a 0-0 draw in Baku.
The two national sides have met once in the past, back in 2006, when Wales ran out 4-0 victors on the day.
Bellamy was on target in that fixture and he will be looking for a scoring return at the Millennium Stadium after almost a year away from the international scene.
The West Ham United striker is expected to start alongside 18-year-old Sam Vokes - who marked his Wales bow with a late winner against Azerbaijan - for the first time.
Toshack, whose side lie 74 places above their opponents in the Fifa world rankings, also has defenders James Collins and Lewin Nyatanga at his disposal following the duo's recovery from long-term injuries.
However, Cardiff winger Joe Ledley, Nottingham Forest striker Robert Earnshaw, Coventry forward Freddy Eastwood and Doncaster's Brian Stock are all unavailable.
Wales will be keen to record their second win in Group 4 as the home weekend encounter is followed by a clash against Germany in Monchengladbach on Wednesday.
he deserves it.
