Bentley wants to shine

David Bentley has admitted he hopes to impress new England boss Fabio Capello enough to take the place of David Beckham on the right flank of the new look England team.

Bentley admitted: "I have to make an impression in every game, not just against Chelsea. But while I treat every game the same, it seems you are noticed more for what you do against the big clubs.

"It's time for me to perform. I'm confident enough I will force my way into the team. It's my job to stop David Beckham. That has to be my aim and I don't think David would argue with that.

"Don't get me wrong, I will be delighted for him if he gets the 100 because he's a top bloke and a great player. If he does reach the 100, I hope he gets it by coming on for me after I've had a stormer.

"I really admire David for everything he's done in football but I want to be breathing down his neck."
