With Roy Hodgson's men ranked 202 places above opponents who boast accountants, bank clerks and students in their squad, a win should be a foregone conclusion. But with skipper Steven Gerrard and full-back Glen Johnson banned and John Terry now retired there are a few spots up for grabs.
Here is my team for the game (4-4-1-1):
Joe Hart: An obvious pick who shouldn't have a great deal to do. His distribution is likely to be more important than his ability to keep a clean sheet.
Kyle Walker: With Johnson banned the attacking qualities of Tottenham man Walker are perfect for this game. If he gets within 30 yards of goal expect him to have a crack.
Gary Cahill: Although he is not a regular starter for Chelsea, I'm a big fan of Cahill's pace and how he reads the game. He should be a regular starter now that Terry has quit international football.
Michael Carrick: A slightly left-field pick but the central defenders are likely to have more time on the ball than anyone and it makes sense to play someone with Carrick's passing ability at the back. He has played there for Manchester United and is unlikely to have a great deal of defending to do.
Leighton Baines: I'd go for Baines over Cole for two reasons, the first being that I personally believe that Cole should be dropped for a game after his Twitter outburst. It sits uncomfortably with me that the Chelsea man could win his 100th cap against Poland next Tuesday having said what he said about the FA.
I still believe Cole is England's best left-back but he needs to be taught a bit of respect. I also think that Baines' set piece in and around the box could come in very handy against a shaky defence.
Aaron Lennon: With Walker starting it makes sense that his Tottenham team-mate Lennon is used in tandem down the right. Lennon is in good form this season and his ability to beat a man will be crucial against a packed defence.
Frank Lampard: Assuming he is fit, the Chelsea veteran should skipper the side and will fancy his chances of improving his goal tally against the minnows. However, if Lampard is sidelined I'd go for the workrate of James Milner in his favoured position ahead of the inexperienced Jonjo Shelvey.
Tom Cleverley: Has looked good when he has played for Manchester United this season and has impressed in fits and starts for England. Should enjoy getting on the ball and making England tick.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: The Ox is now an automatic England pick for me. He is still a little raw but has more of a football brain than Theo Walcott and should be able to unlock San Marino's backline.
Wayne Rooney: Since coming back from that nasty cut on his leg, the Manchester United hitman has looked a bit more like his old self, albeit in more of a midfield role. I'd like to see him given a free role off the striker and take the game by the scruff of the neck against inferior opponents.
Andy Carroll: Jermain Defoe has been in terrific form for Tottenham this season, and has done well for England in recent games, but I want the San Marino defence to know they've been in a game right from the first whistle and Carroll fits the bill perfectly after his recent return from injury. Defoe could also profit from a tiring visiting defence late in the game.
