Manchester City midfielder David Silva says that he is looking forward to a "special" friendly against England at Wembley on Saturday.

Spain midfielder David Silva has said that he is looking forward to a "special" friendly against England at Wembley on Saturday.

The 25-year-old has shone for Manchester City in the Premier League this season, helping them reach the top of the league table.

"This will be a special game for me, above all because this is my second year in England," he told the Daily Mail.

"The truth is everybody treats me very well. I have also got lots of teammates who play for England. It is a beautiful game and I hope the fans enjoy it.

"To play against my teammates with the national team will be something really nice. It is a game to enjoy and if I score that will be something beautiful as well, even if I get a bit of stick."

Silva's club colleagues Joe Hart, Joleon Lescott, Gareth Barry and James Milner have all been named in Fabio Capello's squad for the upcoming matches against Spain and Sweden.
