After an unbeaten start under new manager Sarina Wiegman, England begin their Euro 2022 campaign at Old Trafford tonight full of confidence as they face an Austria side ranked 21st in the world.
The hosts are among the favourites for the competition and have enjoyed a brilliant run of form under the guidance of their new manager, the former Netherlands boss Wiegman. She has overseen 14 matches as manager, winning 12 and drawing just two as England look to capitalise on their status as one of the favourites for this competition.
The Lionesses have been in brilliant form in the build-up to the tournament, scoring 12 goals and conceding just one over the course of their three wins in warm-up games. This included a 5-1 win over the Netherlands, with whom Wiegman won the competition in 2017.

She explained: "We always have things to improve, I think we're in a very good place but that'll show in the Euros. These are all friendlies, it's very nice to learn from it but it really starts next Wednesday. We're in a very good place but still have to improve a couple of things."
