What is the England team news?
Khiara Keating makes her England debut after replacing the injured Hannah Hampton. Maya Le Tissier starts ahead of Lucy Bronze, with Esme Morgan partnering Jess Carter at centre-back in the absence of Leah Williamson, and Alex Greenwood at left back.
The midfield three is familiar: Keira Walsh is captain and Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone start with Jess Park and Grace Clinton both out. And it’s an all-Arsenal front three with Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly either side of Alessia Russo.
