Neville: Man City & Everton players should want to play for England and in FA Cup final

Phil Neville hopes that the Manchester City and Everton players in his latest England squad will have no complaints about playing against Germany and then in the FA Cup final in the space of five days.

Thirteen of the 28 players called up for the Lionesses this month will be taking place in the FA Cup final on November 1, after international duty ends with a clash against one of England's biggest rivals on October 27.

Of those 13, a staggering 11 will be in contention to represent City at Wembley, which may be a concern for Gareth Taylor, head coach of the reigning FA Cup champions.
