Norway vs England

Fifa Women's World Cup 2019

Venue: Stade Oceane, Le Havre

Date: Thursday, 27 June

Kick-off time: 8pm BST

England Women will be hoping to book their place in the World Cup semi-finals but, first, they must overcome Norway in Le Havre.

The Lionesses saw off Cameroon 3-0 in their round of 16 tie thanks to goals from Steph Houghton, Ellen White and Alex Greenwood - although the game will be more remembered for the African nation's emotional reactions to the goals they conceded.

Still, England managed to avoid being distracted by such scenes from their competitors and they secured a comfortable victory which was their fifth straight World Cup win - a new record for the Lionesses.

Norway, meanwhile, were taken all the way to penalties in their last-16 clash with Australia in Nice, which they won 4-1.


England team news

Phil Neville admitted he is worried about Houghton, who opened the scoring against Cameroon, after the England and Manchester City captain was the subject of a rough tackle late on.

Speaking about the 31-year-old, Neville said: "We're concerned about her, she's not someone that stays down. It was a late tackle and we're going to have to do everything possible to get her fit for the quarter-final.

"She's a big player for us, our captain. Her and Lucy Bronze were outstanding tonight - your big players stand up on the big occasions. I thought the composure of those two spread through the team."

Neville otherwise has a fully fit squad to choose from against Norway.

Prediction: Norway 0-2 England

England are flying high in this summer's tournament, having scored eight goals and conceded just one in their four matches so far.

Norway, meanwhile, have lost a game - to France in the group stages. The fact that they had to go to penalties to beat Australia after the game ended 1-1 after extra-time means England will be the favourites to triumph in Le Havre on Thursday night.
