Spanish international Juan Mata reveals that he is looking forward to facing England at the weekend.

Spain winger Juan Mata has said that he is looking forward to taking on England at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.

The 23-year-old has also revealed that he has shared a joke with Chelsea teammates and England duo John Terry and Frank Lampard ahead of the fixture.

"I have already joked about the game with Lampard and Terry and we'll do it more often as the game gets closer," Mata said on his official YouTube channel.

"For them it's quite an incentive to play against the world champions and for us to play against England in their home.

"I have not been to the old or new Wembley. The new one is really nice and a game against England on the mythical pitch, I'm sure it will be a great clash."

Mata joined Chelsea in the summer from La Liga side Valencia.
