England v Australia kick-off time, TV channel and live stream details

England will face World Cup co-hosts Australia on Tuesday in their last game before their World Cup opener against Hati on July 22.

Here’s a rundown of the fixture.

What time is England vs Australia Women kick-off?

The game is due to kick off at 7:45pm on Tuesday, April 11 in front of a sold-out 17,000 crowd at the Brentford Community Stadium, London.

What TV channel is the England vs Australia Women on?

The game is being shown live on free-to-air tv on ITV4 with coverage starting from 7pm. The game will also be available for free on ITVX.

What is the team news?

The Lionesses will be going into the game without defender Alex Greenwood due to an injury, with the Manchester City star returning to her club side for treatment. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Sandy Maciver and defender Millie Bright were forced to pull out of the squad ahead of this latest international window.

To make up for the missing personal, England could give Lucy Parker her first international cap while Niamh Charles could also come in to fill in the gap at left-back.

Australia are currently experiencing their own injury crisis with the likes of Steph Catley, Alanna Kennedy, Cailtin Foord, Elise Kellond-Knight, Emily Gielnik and Clare Wheeler all unavailable. Emily Van Egmond and Holly McNamara were both forced to withdraw from the squad following the Scotland game due to medical reasons, with Leicester City forward Remy Seimsen being called up as a replacement.

Star player Sam Kerr missed her side's shock 1-0 defeat to Scotland on Friday but is expected to feature against England.

What have the managers said?

England’s Sarina Weigman: “This is another big game. Australia are a big team. They are 10th in the world so I hope we will be challenged again. We don't have many games to go (until the World Cup in July).

“Australia have had some very good results. The game against Scotland doesn't really represent what they have done over the last few months.

“They are very physical and very direct. It is a little different to what Brazil did but still very challenging."

Australia’s Tony Gustavsson “We worked a lot on our pressing game because we know both Scotland and England are really good in the ball movement and moving the ball and really want to play.

“If you’re a little bit too stretched, a little bit off in your pressing game, they can play right through you and also with some world-class midfielders in there.”

Who are the favorites?

England 1/3 to win

Australia 5/1 to win

Both sides to draw 10/3
