England need just a point to make it into the knockout phase of the Women’s World Cup against China today.
The Lionesses have hardly set the world alight during their 1-0 wins over Haiti and Denmark respectively but are on course to sail into the business end of the tournament.
However, they will be without key midfielder Keira Walsh due to injury having already seen a number of their star players denied a World Cup outing.
