Sweden coach Erik Hamrén has named his starting eleven to face Germany in tonight's vital World Cup qualifier in Berlin. Hamrén makes four changes to the side that narrowly beat the Faroe Islands 2-1 last Friday.

Striker Johan Elmander returns from injury, there are also starting births for Samuel Holmén, Behrang Safari and Rasmus Elm. Having won their first two qualifiers, Sweden are currently second in Group C, three points behind Germany who have played a game more and thrashed the Republic of Ireland 6-1 in Dublin last Friday.
