Overview

  • A win puts England through to the quarter-finals, and a draw suffices provided France beats the Netherlands in the other Group D fixture.
  • Wales remain pointless but require a four-goal victory coupled with a France win over the Netherlands to stay in the competition.
  • Coach Sarina Wiegman emphasised England’s focus on their tactical plan and ball control rather than the historic rivalry.
  • Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson said all the pressure is on England and vowed her side would push the champions to the end.
  • Sweden’s 4-1 victory over Germany on Saturday secured top spot in Group C and, should England advance, will be their quarter-final opponent.
