Davies eyes England chance

Bolton striker Kevin Davies says he is delighted with his current goal-scoring form – and has not ruled out an England call-up if Fabio Capello faces an injury crisis.

The 31-year-old hit just four goals last season, but he has equalled that tally already this season.

And, with his confidence sky-high, he believes he could be in line to receive a first England call-up in the right circumstances.

“I guess everything stems from the first game of the season against Stoke – I got a goal and scoring goals breeds confidence,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

“If I’m not scoring now, I’m finishing disappointed.

“That’s four in seven now and I am delighted. I just want to keep it going.

“As for England, there are enough strikers around, but hopefully they will get a few injuries,” he smiled.

Football Poll

Who was England's best player?









Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
