Former England international Rio Ferdinand has backed the Three Lions to record a 3-0 victory over Poland this evening.

Roy Hodgson's men go into the clash at Wembley top of their qualifying group and will progress to next year's World Cup in Brazil with a win.

"Looking forward to watching England win tonight, it'll be convincing too, a 3-0 brushing of Poland me thinks," the Manchester United centre-back wrote on the social networking site Twitter.

Ferdinand announced his retirement from international football in May of this year.
