Bookmakers rated Liverpool inspiring captain Steven Gerrard is favourite to replace John Terry as England’s national team captain. Steven Gerrard to lead England in next match against Egypt on March 3, 2010.

With further allegations over Terry’s private life appearing in Sunday’s newspapers, the Chelsea defender has been eased from 4/9 to 4/5 to keep the armband for that game. Fabio Capello is well known as a strict disciplinarian and it is now 7/4 from 7/2 that he opts for Liverpool midfielder Gerrard to lead the Three Lions instead.

Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: “Terry’s once vice-like grip on the captaincy is weakening with every day that passes”.

William Hill have shortened their odds about Terry losing the England captaincy before the friendly against the Pharaohs from 6/4 to 6/5, but make him 8/13 to lead the side in that match.

Hills now offer 4/9 (were 4/11) that Terry will be skipper for the opening World Cup game against USA and also offer 5/2 Steven Gerard wears the armband that day, plus 16/1 for David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney.

“Punters’ opinions seem to be moving towards a feeling that Capello will have to make some sort of gesture – if only to take the captaincy away on a short-term basis,” said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
