England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is set to break up Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard's partnership so that they could play in the World Cup's last 16.

Lampard and Gerrard, as well as Peter Crouch, face Sweden only a booking away from a suspension.

Eriksson said: "If we had to win to go through I would probably risk all three, but we don't need to do that."

Gerrard is thought most likely to be rested in midfield, while Wayne Rooney could start ahead of Crouch.

Owen Hargreaves is favourite to take Gerrard's place after figuring alongside Lampard for part of Saturday's training session, but Michael Carrick is also a contender.

Eriksson added: "There are three players booked and maybe I will leave one out.

"I don't want to leave all three out - maybe one or two."
