The Footballers' Football Show: 10.30pm, Thu, Sky Sports 2 HD

The England national team is on the agenda for this week's The Footballers' Football Show and Glenn Hoddle, Steve McClaren and Ray Wilkins will be in the studio to have their say on the current Three Lions set-up.

Roy Hodgson and his men return to World Cup qualifying duty on Friday night in San Marino and then travel to Montenegro for a crucial clash with the Group H table toppers on Tuesday.

But how will they fare? And will they progress to Brazil 2014? The panel will share their thoughts on the team's prospects and former England managers Hoddle and McClaren will reflect on the difficulties they faced during their tenures in charge of the national team.

We'll also get the trio's take on

DEFENDER DILEMMA: Rio Ferdinand was recalled by Hodgson for this week's qualifying double-header but pulled out due to injury management concerns. We'll ask the panel for their views on the issue - and whether Ferdinand should be selected again by England

ROY'S RESULTS: How do the panel rate Hodgson's efforts with the national team so far? We'll get their verdict on his Euro 2012 campaign and World Cup qualifying tilt to date

RESOURCES: The guests will have their say on how Hodgson can get the most out of the players at his disposal, from young talent such as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to experienced heads such as Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard

WIDER ISSUES: We'll also get the panel's views on the wider issues affecting the national team, including the U21 side, whether a winter break could lead to success at major tournaments and the all-important club vs country debate
