Norway vs England 2019 Fifa Women's World Cup quarter-final prediction: TV LIVE stream, lineups, odds, tickets

Norway vs England
Fifa Women's World Cup 2019: Last-16
Venue: Stade Oceane, Le Havre, France
Date: Thursday, 27 June
Kick-off time: 8pm BST

England must focus on the task at hand as they face Norway in the Women's World Cup quarter-finals following an extraordinary 3-0 last-16 win over Cameroon.

The Lionesses take Norway in Le Havre for a place in the last four, four days on from beating Cameroon in an ill-tempered contest in Valenciennes.

Cameroon twice looked as if they may not continue playing as they complained about VAR decisions during a match that also saw Nikita Parris take an elbow to the face, Steph Houghton hurt by a poor challenge and Toni Duggan spat on.

Phil Neville condemned Cameroon coach Alain Djeumfa and his players immediately after the result, but that game must now be forgotten as the Lionesses seek to reach a semi-final against either hosts France or holders USA.

Here's what you need to know...


England team news

England captain Steph Houghton is a major doubt for the match, manager Phil Neville revealed on Wednesday. Houghton was on the receiving end of a tough challenge towards the end of the win against Cameroon and is struggling with an ankle issue as a result.

Neville, who also said defender Millie Bright is also a doubt through illness, is hopeful Houghton will train on the eve of the game before making a final decision.

England XI: Bardsley, Bronze, Houghton, Bright, Greenwood, Walsh, Kirby, Scott, Parris, White, Duggan


Prediction: Norway 1-2 England

Norway have been tricky customers so far, winning twice to finish second behind hosts France in Group A before beating Australia on penalties in the last-16.

Martin Sjögren's side showed nerves of steel to score all their penalties in the 4-1 shootout win, so the Lionesses will want to try to get what they can to win this one before the drama of spot-kicks.
