In November 2004, Spain won a friendly 1-0 in the Bernabeu thanks to an early goal from defender Asier del Horno.

The scoreline did not reflect the home side's dominance of a match that was marred by fans' racist abuse of England's black players.

"We played one of the best games I have had as coach. We won quite easily and missed a penalty in that game," Aragones told a news conference on Friday.

"We need to play the same way again. We need to maintain possession because they have a direct style, aggressiveness and rhythm to their game which can make life very difficult for you."

Aragones has recalled striker Fernando Torres to his 20-man squad, though former captain Raul was overlooked again.

Torres, who had been a fixture in Aragones's squads, was dropped for November's 1-0 friendly defeat to Romania after a poor start to the season with his club Atletico Madrid.

However, the 22-year-old's form has picked up and he has contributed seven goals to help Atletico climb to fifth in the Primera Liga.

Real Madrid striker Raul was dropped for the first time in 10 years for reasons other than injury for Spain's Euro 2008 qualifier away to Sweden in October and he has now failed to make the last three squads.

"The door remains open for Raul but he has been injured recently. I have had a conversation with him and I told him this," Aragones added.

There was no room for Joaquin or Jose Antonio Reyes. Several players who missed the last match through injury return, including midfielders David Albelda and Xavi, and centre-back Pablo Ibanez.

Real Betis defender Juanito and Liverpool's Luis Garcia are both out injured.

It will be Spain's first visit to England since they were beaten 3-0 in a friendly in 2001 in Sven-Goran Eriksson's first match in charge of England.

England and Spain have both made stuttering starts to their Euro 2008 qualifying campaigns. In March, Spain will face Denmark and Iceland at home in Group F and England will travel to Israel and Andorra in Group E.
