United States forward Landon Donovan believes his loan spell with Everton last season can help play a part in plotting England's downfall in Saturday's World Cup clash.

Donovan spent two and a half months at Goodison Park and feels the experience helped him to find out the qualities of some of the England players.

He said: "It would be hard for me to point anywhere and find a weakness in England's team. But the experience at Everton was valuable in a lot of ways, for me personally and also in getting the chance to play against some of the players we will see on Saturday."
