The Daily Mirror reports England could play the Socceroos at Wembley next month provided the Three Lions have already qualified for the World Cup in Brazil.

The match would be the first between the two nations since the Australians stunned England 3-1 in an epic encounter at Upton Park in 2003.

The Socceroos are desperate to rekindle their winning form after successive 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France. FFA officials will hope reprising memories of their Upton Park triumph - in which Tony Popovich, Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton scored for the visitors - will prove the boost the Australians need.

Football Federation Australia have previously discussed the idea of a regular Ashes-style friendly fixture with England's Football Association but a deal has yet to be struck.

"Roy Hodgson has lined up a November friendly with Australia," The Mirror reported on Monday. "The Football Association have already sounded out the Socceroos about a fixture - as long as England reach the World Cup finals."

Australia will likely have just thee more games under a new manger before beginning their campaign in Brazil next year.

A Football Federation Australia spokesman said FFA was always exploring options on the international calendar ``but the preference is to play matches in Australia in November''.
