Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock plans to use tomorrow's League Cup final against Man United to strengthen his chances of taking Wayne Bridge's place in the England World Cup squad.
Bridge ruled himself out of Fabio Capello's plans for the finals in South Africa after deciding the fall-out from John Terry's alleged affair with the Manchester City star's former girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel made his position untenable.

Bridge's absence and an injury to Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole could mean a call-up for Warnock for England's friendly against Egypt at Wembley next Wednesday and the Villa star is keen to catch Capello's eye against United.
