The Fifa Women’s World Cup gets underway this week with England arriving in France as one of the competition’s favourites.
The Lioness’ suffered semi-final heartbreak four years ago in Canada – with a last-minute own goal from Laura Bassett seeing them crash out against Japan.
While they secured a third place finish with a play-off win over Germany, they are hungry for greater success this time around.
Phil Neville’s side have been given a reminder of the task at hand, however, with a shock defeat to New Zealand last Friday.
But they remain firmly among the frontrunners as we approach kick-off.
When does it start?
The Fifa Women’s World Cup officially gets underway on Friday 7 June with hosts France kicking off against South Korea.
The group phase runs until 20 June with the knock-out stage commencing on 22 June. The final is scheduled to take place at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday 7 July.
England begin their campaign against Scotland on Sunday 9 June.
