England arrange Peru friendly ahead of World Cup
The Football Association is set to announce that England's final Wembley warm-up match ahead of the World Cup in Brazil will be against Peru.
The fixture is expected to be played on 30 May, though a date has not been fixed and is subject to change.
Manager Roy Hodgson will name his 30-man provisional squad before the friendly with the South Americans.
England will then play Honduras and Ecuador in June at their pre-tournament base in Miami.
The FA has lined up the three Latin American teams for the build up to a tournament where England will play Italy (14 June), Uruguay (19 June) and Costa Rica (24 June) in Group D.
The initial plan was to play Jurgen Klinsmann's USA as one of the two warm-up friendlies in Miami, but the World Cup draw - with England playing Italy in the humid city of Manaus - forced the FA to look at other options.
