Watch as supporters arrive at Stadium Australia for the Women’s World Cup last-16 match between co-hosts Australia and Denmark.

All eyes will be on the Matildas, as all-time leading scorer Sam Kerr is set to make her first appearance of the tournament in Monday’s tie.

The Chelsea forward - who has been named as a substitute - did not play in Australia’s three group games because of a calf injury but the side still finished top of their group with six points.

They beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 in their opening fixture, before losing 3-2 to Nigeria and beating Canada 4-0.

Runners-up Nigeria were beaten on penalties by England in the last-16, a match which kicked off ahead of Australia vs Denmark.

While Kerr and co. are favourites heading into the match, the Danes are expected to provide a tough test.

England scraped past them with a 1-0 victory in Group D, with Denmark beating China and Haiti to secure their place in the knockouts.
