England will play Paraguay, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago in this summer's World Cup finals in Germany.

England, drawn in group B, are to play their first game against Paraguay in Frankfurt, on June 10, next year.

They will then face Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremburg, on June 15, and Sweden - who England have not beaten since 1968 - in Cologne, on June 20.

The Final Draw for the World Cup is underway in Leipzig on Friday.

The fact that the red, white and blues are seeded means they will not meet the other top guns - hosts Germany, Brazil, Italy, France, Argentina, Spain or Mexico.

The rules also ensure there can only be one other European side in their group.

The Organising Committee has approved team classifications - pot allocations for the draw, a FIFA media statement said.

The draw included 32 teams divided into eight groups of four different pots, with Serbia and Montenegro placed in a special pot.

Brazil are favourites to win the competition for the fifth time.
