Welbeck finishes swift break with his shin
Then strikes on break in injury-time
Fabian Delph may well be asked to help Leighton Baines out down the left against the attacks of Xherdan Shaqiri this evening.
On the other side, who's watching Raheem Sterling? He could be the spark for England.
Who would be England manager? Obviously Marcus
Marcus Gee:, external My England team tonight would have been: Hart Clyne Curtis Davis Cahill Baines Wilshere Barry Sterling Rooney Oxlade-Chamberlain Lambert
A TV replay system allowing coaches to challenge a referee's decision may be trialled next year, Fifa president Sepp Blatter has announced.
Speaking via video link at Manchester's Soccerex, the Swiss, 78, said he wanted coaches to be allowed at least one challenge per half.
He revealed the trial could happen at next year's Fifa Under-20 World Cup.
"We can try in a youth competition, an Under-20, like next year when we are in New Zealand," he said.
"It can only be done where there is television coverage of all the matches."
What do we think of that?
Tony Lea Stewart:, external With Welbeck starting, it will be interesting to see what he can do. Not an Arsenal fan, but I hope he proves doubters wrong.

Andrew K: As a Liverpool fan I went to Roy Hodgson's last game as manager, away at Blackburn (we lost 3-1). The worst manager we've had for many years. Why will he better with England?
From Jenni: The power of the media never ceases to amaze me. In the build-up to the World Cup the expectations surrounding this Engalnd side were low and the support for Roy Hodgson was sky-high, as they agreed we didn't have a good enough squad to challenge the very best. Fast forward a few months and nothing has changed in regards to expectations, but suddenly the media have turned on Rodgson and he's no longer seen as being good enough. What changed?
From Andrew: Huge night ahead for England and Roy Hodgson in particular. I can't be the only one thinking that a defeat wouldn't be that bad a result from an English point of view if it meant that it got rid of Hodgson from the England management setup. He's clearly not the right man for the job.
Image source, Getty ImagesUp front Switzerland can call on young trio Admir Mehmedi, Haris Seferovic and Josip Drmic, who all ply their trade in the Bundesliga, while one-time Fulham man Pajtim Kasami is also an option.
Remember that goal he scored at Crystal Palace last season? Course you do! Netbuster...
Image source, EPAThe Swiss are a handy outfit then - but who are the key components, the real danger men, the knife and corkscrew in the army knife?
Front and centre is sometime Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri. The 22-year-old is built like a powerlifter and could well bench press England's back four into submission tonight.
He scored a hat-trick at the World Cup and already has 38 caps to his name. Can Phil Jones and co shut him out tonight?
England's new-look midfield is certainly causing some debate. Lampard and Gerrard anyone?
Ruairi Giles:, external Wilshere, the famous holding midfielder tonight then.
Andy Green:, external For me the Wilshere, Delph, Henderson midfield shows how lacking England are, I hope I'm proved wrong but I doubt it. 2-0 loss.
Cameron Laws:, external Delph deserves his chance, fantastic ability. Strong line-up, lets hope for better than last week!
Switzerland, who were managed by Roy Hodgson between 1992 and 1995, are set to be England's toughest opponents as they are the highest ranked side in Group E.
They are ninth in Fifa's world rankings compared to England's 20th and were only beaten in the World Cup by a last-minute goal from Manchester United's new £60m man Angel Di Maria.

BBC Radio 5 live will have live coverage of tonight's match in Basel, Mark Pougatch presenting, John Murray and Alan Green commentating with Danny Mills providing the analysis.
The programme starts at 19:00 BST as we build-up to the qualifier.
Among other things, they will be discussing the importance of the tie and the danger posed by the Swiss, as well as speaking to a Swiss journalist to discuss just how fondly Roy Hodgson is remembered in Switzerland.
Phones line will be open at half-time - call 0500 909693 to discuss the big talking points.
Image source, OtherWhat a night for Fabian Delph. The Aston Villa man was impressive when he came on for his debut against Norway in midweek, can he shine tonight?
Manager Roy Hodgson insists England's immediate future will not be shaped by their opening Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland tonight.
The game is England's first competitive match since their tame World Cup exit.
Hodgson said: "We have to play well and do well here. If the result costs us we have to make sure we learn from losing the battle and win the war.
"Winning this game does not make a great team in 2016. Neither does losing it make us a poor team in 2016."
Sam:, external Time for Delph to become the footballer every Leeds and Villa fan believe he can become.
Image source, EPASpain arrived at this summer's World Cup as the world and double European champions. But they were the first side to leave as well, defeated by Netherlands and Chile in their first two group games.
Vicente del Bosque's side were beaten in their first match since - a friendly against France - on Thursday.
Can they get the tiki-taka show back on the road tonight? They are at home to Macedonia tonight in their Group C opener.
Among the rest of the night's action, Ukraine take on Slovakia and Austria welcome Sweden.
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty in Basel
"England's road to redemption after the World Cup failure in Brazil starts here in Basel against Switzerland - arguably the toughest fixture in their Euro 2016 qualifying group.
"The game has certainly captured the imagination of the locals, with Switzerland supporters gathered outside the St Jakob-Park three hours before kick-off holding up signs pleading for spare tickets.
"England's fans, as usual, are here in force and have commandeered one corner of this atmospheric arena.
"Manager Roy Hodgson gives a first international start to Aston Villa's Fabian Delph while Liverpool's Jordan Henderson has recovered from the ankle knock he sustained in training last night and Danny Welbeck comes in for injured Daniel Sturridge up front."
Image source, Getty ImagesFive years ago this week England beat Croatia 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard both scoring twice from midfield.
Those two old war horses have retired of course, having scored 50 international goals between them.
Tonight we have Jack Wilshere, Jordan Henderson and Fabian Delph in the engine room, a trio who have scored 23 Premier League goals between them. Ever.
So where are those goals going to come from? If Wayne Rooney doesn't score - who will?
Let us know your thoughts on the midfield conundrum, who should be in, who should be out.

Image source, EPAIt's fair to say expectations are pretty low as far as England are concerned.
A poor World Cup showing, a half-empty Wembley to watch last week's dull friendly against Norway and the prospect of an equally dull Euro 2016 qualifying campaign to come have left Roy Hodgson and co fighting a wave of criticism.
Tonight could well be England's toughest game in Group E. Are they up to the task?
