What is the Arnold Clark Cup? The tournament England could win ahead of Women's World Cup

England's Lionesses are set to take to the pitch for the first tournament since winning the Euros last summer in the Arnold Clark Cup tournament.

In only its second year, England will be defending their title from the inaugural tournament held this time last year.

Three stadiums in England will host four teams as they battle it out across a week of action.

The four invited teams play each other once in a round-robin tournament with points awarded in the group stage that follow the usual point system.

The Arnold Clark Cup is an invitational women's association tournament hosted by the FA and will feature three double-header matches on each matchday and is the last chance for fans to see international matches before the Women's World Cup.

This year, the tournament will be held at MK Dons, Coventry Building Society Arena and Ashton Gate.

Three other teams will battle it out with England to win the trophy. The Lionesses will face Belgium, Italy and Korea Republic.

The tournament begins on February 16 when England face Korea Republic, and the two other matchdays are on February 19 and 22.
