Ten strikers vying for Wayne Rooney's England spot
HELL-BENT ON STARTING ... Darren Bent

DARREN BENT

Club: Aston Villa

Caps: 11 Goals: 4

Age: 27

BENT is in the box seat as England's centre-forward and was likely to start with Rooney alongside him.

But the Villa hitman knows as well as anyone that things can change between midway through a season and the start of a tournament – as he learned from his 2006 omission – and must keep up his hot streak.

Chance of replacing Rooney: 9/10
