It will be the first time the two home nations have met since Wales won 4-0 in front of 47,000 fans at the Millennium Stadium in February 2004, when Robert Earnshaw scored a hat-trick in a side that included Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed and Robbie Savage. Wales' squad assembled yesterday for the World Cup qualifiers in Finland on Saturday and Liechtenstein next Wednesday. Midfielder Joe Ledley will be assessed as the week progresses. The Cardiff man is suffering from a pelvic injury, but Wales hope he will be available for one of the two matches. The same applies to West Ham's Danny Gabbidon.
