Hassan and Co. tackle the Three Lions at Wembley, one month after clinching a third straight African Cup of Nations title in Angola.

"This game is very important for us because we want to maintain our good form and preserve our rank (among FIFA's top 10)," the Ahli midfielder told reporters.

"I think if we want to win, we'll have to produce an extraordinary performance as we face a very tough opponent."

Hassan is set to make his 173rd appearance for the national team after he had broken Hossam Hassan's record of most caps won.

The 35-year-old needs five more matches to become the world's all-time most capped international, a record currently held by Saudi Arabia's Mohamed Al-Daeyea.
