SAPPORO, Japan, June 7 (AFP) - England made just one change for their Group F clash against Argentina here at the Sapporo Dome on Friday with Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt coming in for Darius Vassell.

Butt lined up in central midfield with Paul Scholes, allowing Emile Heskey to partner Michael Owen in attack.

Heskey played in his less customary role on the left-hand side of midfield in England's 1-1 draw against Sweden while Aston Villa striker Vassell played up front.

Key defender Roberto Ayala was again ruled out with a thigh strain so Bayer Leverkusen's Diego Placente kept his place on the left side of Argentina's defence.

Manchester United's Juan Sebastian Veron wore the captain's armband in the absence of the injured Ayala.

Lazio star Claudio Lopez was dropped from Argentina's starting line-up and replaced by attacking midfielder Kily Gonzalez.

Gonzalez came on for the disappointing Lopez at the start of the second half of the South Americans' 1-0 win over Nigeria in their opening group F match.

Playmaker Ariel Ortega and midfielder Juan Pablo Sorin, who have been unable to train this week because of injuries, started for Argentina.

England: David Seaman, Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole, David Beckham (capt), Nicky Butt, Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Emile Heskey, Michael Owen

Argentina: Pablo Cavallero, Mauricio Pochettino, Walter Samuel, Diego Placente, Javier Zanetti, Diego Simeone, Juan Pablo Sorin, Juan Sebastian Veron (capt), Ariel Ortega, Gabriel Batistuta, Cristian (Kily) Gonzalez

Referee: Pierluigi Collina (Ita)
