One of Walcott and SWP makes the team, most likely Walcott Capello seems to love him
I think the 7 cuts will be
Warnock, Upson, Adam Johnson, Parker, SWP, Bent, Barry
I don't expect Barry to be fit, if he is than Carrick or Huddlestone will be cut, based on this years form it should be Carrick but I would guess Huddlestone
I would have Bent on the team as well but they don't need a 5th striker because Gerrard has played and excelled in the role of secondary striker with Liverpool. And Capello loves the target man (Crouch/Heskey) to go with the scorer (Rooney/Defoe) so he only needs 2 of each, and Defoe's game is also more productive as an impact sub if needed.
As I said Capello loves Walcott otherwise I wouldn't have him on the team, I think SWP is the odd man out there. And I think he goes with Joe Cole over Johnson because of experience and more versatility.
I don't think Agbonlahor fits the formation Capello runs, he would only really be useful as a winger as he isn't big enough and doesn't finish enough to play up front. Ashley Young is a bit of a surprise omission but Adam Johnson has been in better form the last month
