Sports betting firms offering a range of bets for England's game with Ukraine.
The number of punters placing bets for England to beat Ukraine on Wednesday may drop following the news Emile Heskey has been ruled out of the game.England will be looking to make it five wins from as many games in their World Cup qualifying group when Ukraine head to Wembley, although they will have to do it without the Aston Villa frontman.
Heskey limped off with a hamstring injury after scoring the opener in Saturday's 4-0 friendly win over Slovakia.

The game left England manager Fabio Capello slightly short of firepower for the Group Six clash, as fellow strikers Carlton Cole and Peter Crouch also hobbled off.
Wayne Rooney is the only one of the original striker quartet fully fit for the clash, although Crouch is expected to be passed fit to play and Darren Bent has been called up as a late replacement.
William Hill price England at 2/5 to make it 18 points from 18 against Ukraine with Rooney being the favourite to score the first goal at 9/2, following his double against Slovakia.
Punters could also take the 5/6 being offered by the company on England scoring in both halves, while it is an 8/13 chance that England keep a clean sheet.
